How Helping Women Helps Business- McKinsey Quarterly


The strategy consulting firm, Mckinsey & Company, has just published an article entitled “How Helping Women Helps Business” in the January edition of its McKinsey Quaterly magazine. Given our work with UNIFEM-UK we thought that our readers would be interested in taking a look at the article. Something to watch out for: the article highlights the fantastic work that Standard Chartered Bank (one of our clients) is doing with its women empowerment programme, GOAL. You can get the McKinsey report here: http://www.mckinseyquarterly.com/How_helping_women_helps_business_2513 To learn more about GOAL and UNIFEM-UK go to: http://www.standardchartered.com/sustainability/community-investment/womens-empowerment/en/index.html http://goalgirlsindia.blogspot.com/ http://www.unifemuk.org/

  1. As can be seen from the work in Russia described on our website, this was very much the case in our leverage of a community back for the Tomsk initiative, where more than 80% of the 10,000 micro enterprises created were started by women.

    This was proof of concept for the profit-for-purpose apporach to social enterprise we conceived in 1996.
