This week's newsletter will focus on the following:

• Why should companies report on gender-specific data? – blog by Safia Hussain (Programme Coordinator, CERB)
• Webinar on Nourishing Lives: Empowering Women and Transforming Communities Through Sustainable Dairy Initiatives – case study by Sameen Akhund (Sustainability Research Manager, CERB)

As the deadline for the 'Employer of Choice' Gender Diversity Awards 2024 approaches within a month, our team is dedicated to enhancing awareness regarding gender-related public disclosures and their significance for companies in Pakistan. Read the blog to understand why gender diversity-related disclosures are crucial for a country like Pakistan and how the Awards assist companies in identifying gaps, addressing disparities, and tracking progress in their DEI practices. You can access the blog here.

The deadline to submit your company’s nomination for the Awards is 15th May 2024. For more information, please reach out to Programme Manager, Rajaa Bokhari or Programme Coordinator, Safia Hussain .

?The Nourishing Lives, Transforming Communities webinar was a derivative of a case study conducted by CERB on Friesland Campina Engro Pakistan’s Enhancing Women’s Income through Dairy Interventions (EWID) project. This webinar sheds light on how businesses could help empower women and transform communities by bringing women into their supply chain. Sameen Akhund, author of the case study, was joined by Friesland Campina and K-Electric, who have worked successfully with marginalized women to build an entrepreneurial skill set and engage successfully in the workforce. The case study behind the webinar can be accessed here.

We wish all our readers a very happy Eid Mubarak and a restful and fulfilling holiday. Our team will be back after Eid with more initiatives, events and engagements with our stakeholders.?
