The FAIR SHARE Commitment

wHAT IS THE FAIR SHARE COMMITMENT?

The FAIR SHARE Commitment is a pledge to:

Achieve a FAIR SHARE of women in your leadership by 2030 at the latest.
Actively participate in the annual FAIR SHARE Monitor by sharing your latest figures on the gender distribution of your workforce with us.

The FAIR SHARE Commitment is for leaders who want to take a concrete step towards gender equity and demonstrate their dedication to their staff, external partners and the sector at large. Here’s what else you need to know:

The FAIR SHARE Commitment is open to international social impact organisations
FAIR SHARE doesn’t dictate how you should pursue gender equity in your organisation – you know the conditions and challenges of your context best.
The FAIR SHARE Commitment gives you the opportunity to connect with leaders from fellow Committed Organisations to learn from one another, brainstorm ideas and identify solutions together.
There are no participation fees

“In the spirit of continual growth, we openly share our data on our staff demographics and our diversity, equity and inclusion commitments overall. We hope this both increases transparency in our efforts and invites healthy challenge and accountability.”

— Andrew Youn, CEO, One Acre Fund
