As supply chain complexity increases and technology and data become increasingly central, companies are facing widening skills gaps. Increasing gender diversity will help companies improve efficiencies, bring fresh perspectives, and unique insights to their supply chain organization. Despite progress, achieving equality remains an ongoing effort. Discussions on enhancing women’s representation in the supply chain are not sufficient. We need proactive leadership and dedicated initiatives showcasing tangible gender diversity outcomes. Chief Supply Chain Officers (CSCOs) must reaffirm their commitment to gender diversity by setting clear goals, promoting leadership inclusion, and ensuring equitable compensation. Achieving gender parity entails not only opening doors but also bridging gaps and fostering a supportive framework that empowers women to excel.

At the ISCM Thought Leadership Dialog Series on Gender Diversity, 20 plus CEO’s and CSCO’s from leading Indian companies and Logistics Service providers will discuss their plans for increasing the gender diversity in the supply chain and logistics domains, and make it inclusive, fair and diverse.
