The PAS – Professional Aviation Solutions team is pleased to announce its commitment to the Women Empowerment Principles (WEPs).
The headquarters of PAS – Professional Aviation Solutions GmbH in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, and the Milan-based PAS – Professional Aviation Solutions Srl in Italy have officially adopted the 7 principles of the WEPs. This step aims to dismantle stereotypes, address systemic inequalities, and foster a more equitable and inclusive work environment.
The PAS Group believes that embracing equity and non-discrimination values is essential for growth and success. By promoting diverse perspectives and talents, companies can achieve better outcomes.
The Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) were developed by UN Women and the UN Global Compact to guide businesses in promoting gender equality and empowering women in the workplace, marketplace, and community. PAS is committed to integrating these principles into its operations and culture.
Here’s a breakdown of the seven principles:
- Establish high-level corporate leadership for gender equality: This principle emphasizes the importance of commitment from top management to promote gender equality and create a corporate culture that values and supports women’s empowerment.
- Treat all women and men fairly at work: It calls for ensuring equal opportunities for women and men in all aspects of employment, including recruitment, hiring, training, promotion, and remuneration.
- Ensure the health, safety, and well-being of all women and men workers: This principle focuses on creating a safe and healthy work environment free from discrimination, harassment, and violence, and addressing the specific health and safety needs of women workers.
- Promote education, training, and professional development for women: It highlights the importance of providing women with access to education, training, and career development opportunities to enhance their skills, knowledge, and capabilities.
- Implement enterprise development, supply chain, and marketing practices that empower women: This principle encourages businesses to support women-owned enterprises, promote gender-responsive procurement practices, and develop marketing strategies that challenge gender stereotypes and promote gender equality.
- Promote equality through community initiatives and advocacy: It emphasizes the role of businesses in supporting community initiatives that advance gender equality, including advocacy for women’s rights and empowerment.
- Measure and publicly report on progress to achieve gender equality: This principle stresses the importance of setting measurable targets and indicators to track progress towards gender equality and publicly reporting on achievements and challenges to promote accountability and transparency.
By adhering to these principles, PAS – Professional Aviation Solutions aims to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment, which not only benefits women but also strengthens businesses and contributes to sustainable development.
