INCAE ON SUSTAINABILITY

Talks: Women’s Leadership
INCAE emphasizes the need to promote initiatives that include women in managerial positions, as board members,
and on commissions within companies and business-supporting organizations, create gender equality awareness
among private and public sector leadership, and provide materials on gender equality to human resources
management processes.
Under this initiative, INCAE has given talks to various multinationals (P&G, Coca Cola, General Foods, Intel, Amazon,
Scotiabank, Walmart, Citibank, Pfizer, and others), and have been asked to provide conference and seminars:
