As G20 countries met in Sydney to discuss global trade and finance this week, business leaders came together at an important event highlighting the difference women’s empowerment and gender equity make to the bottom line.  The Grattan Institute reports that a six per cent rise in female participation would increase the size of the Australian economy by around $25 billion a year. With the productivity imperative and growth targets in mind, the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (ACCI) Productivity Leadership Program, with partners  BPW Australia, the Australian National Committee for UN Women, UN Global Compact Network Australia, Australian Human Rights Commission,  AMMA,  AWRA and Corporate Sustainability Australia, hosted this special WEPS event.
