Your IDH update: Highlighting Courageous Collaboration
This monthly newsletter shows key highlights from our collaborative work transforming markets.
Walking the tightrope of gender equality & DEI
At IDH, we remain steadfast in our belief that gender equality and DEI are essential drivers of market transformation. Yet, with mounting political and economic pressures, companies face a critical choice—scale back, pause and reassess, or double down and adapt.
The stakes are high: stepping back could mean missing out on strategic business opportunities. Advancing gender equality, on the other hand, strengthens supply chains, improves resilience, and drives profitability.
Read more about IDH’s perspective on making DEI work for business and society.
Why closing the gender gap in agriculture matters
Most people don’t realise that closing the gender gap in farm productivity could boost global GDP by nearly $1 trillion. If women had the same access to resources as men, farm yields could increase by 20–30%.
For agribusinesses, investing women in agriculture means stronger, more resilient supply chain for everyone. Read more about how this delivers better ROI for your company.
Gender transformative business models: From intention to action
Traditional gender inclusion efforts focus on improving women’s participation, but they rarely address the root causes of inequality in supply chains and business models.
Gender Transformative Business Models take a step further by integrating gender equality into the core business strategies. Companies implementing such models are seeing higher efficiency, better supplier relationships, and increased revenues.
Carolijn Gommans explains in the below video how businesses can take this approach in under 2.5 minutes.
