The business case
A growing body of evidence demonstrates the economic value of women as employees, business leaders, consumers and entrepreneurs.
Improving gender equality is not just about social justice and fairness: gender equality makes good business sense.
Gender equality is particular important in science, engineering, technology and the built environment, where the representation of women remains strikingly low see our facts and figures. These sectors are vital to our future: they need and deserve the most talented workforce.
At the UKRC we have developed expert services and resources to help build gender equality in SET. We work with a wide range of employers as well as with individual women and at policy level, to bring about change.
