SUMMARY:Webinar on Oxfam’s Supplier Gender Toolkit
DESCRIPTION:Oxfam’s Behind the Barcodes campaign aimed to push supermarkets to respect the rights of workers in their global supply chains. Tesco became a front-runner on gender equality\, one of the scorecard’s four focus areas. As part of its gender strategy\, Tesco set a target of having at least 30% of supervisor and management positions occupied by women in all of its Tier 1 suppliers by 2025. Oxfam Business Advisory Service worked with Tesco to develop this Gender Toolkit for supplier companies to use\, helping them to understand how to take steps towards increasing women’s representation at different levels and meet this target. You can read more about the project in this blog by Jiselle Steele\, one of Oxfam’s private sector gender advisors.   \nThe Gender Toolkit\, which was developed in consultation with Tesco’s Tier 1 suppliers and workers\, offers practical guidance on approaches and activities to help companies increase the representation of women in management and supervisory positions. The toolkit highlights challenges\, opportunities and recommended actions that businesses can take across the stages of recruitment\, progression and retention to support women in the workplace. Tesco has agreed to make the toolkit available to others to learn from and implement – you can download the toolkit here.   \nTo learn more\, you are warmly invited to a webinar where you will hear from Jiselle\, who led the project\, Tania Moodley\, responsible sourcing manager at Tesco\, and Rokhsana Bilkis Lucky\, deputy general manager at Aman Knittings Ltd\, a garment company in Bangladesh who supported the development of the toolkit.   \nRegister here. \nTo receive a recording of the event\, please reach out!
