In 2017, our Founder and CEO, Cathrin Stickney, learned<br />
that it would take more than two hundred years <strong>to</strong> close the<br />
gender gap. Driven by that, and her own early-career experience<br />
being <strong>to</strong>ld by a potential employer that they “didn’t<br />
hire women,” she founded <strong>Parity</strong>.<strong>org</strong> <strong>to</strong> create “Equal<br />
Representation. Now.” In its first two years, <strong>Parity</strong>.<strong>org</strong><br />
focused on closing the gender gap, and in July 2020<br />
expanded its efforts <strong>to</strong> support people of color at the <strong>to</strong>p of<br />
business, where the representation gap is the widest.<br />
• The <strong>Parity</strong>Pledge® asks companies <strong>to</strong> interview at least<br />
one qualified woman and one qualified person of color<br />
for every open role, VP and higher, including the C-suite<br />
and the Board. Nearly 500 companies have signed the<br />
pledge, and hundreds of individuals have also signed the<br />
Individual <strong>Parity</strong>Pledge® <strong>to</strong> support and celebrate<br />
women and people of color rising <strong>to</strong> the <strong>to</strong>p of business.<br />
• The <strong>Parity</strong> Model, developed from hundreds of conversations<br />
with CHROs and CEOs, identifies the three<br />
foundational elements needed <strong>to</strong> achieve gender and<br />
racial parity, with actionable <strong>to</strong>ols and practices.<br />
• The <strong>Parity</strong>INDEX® is a private dashboard <strong>to</strong> help companies<br />
increase parity at the <strong>to</strong>p by measuring and improving<br />
their gender and racial balance. The <strong>Parity</strong>INDEX also<br />
includes pay parity <strong>to</strong>ols. Companies can benchmark<br />
against their industry and see progress over time.<br />
• The Best Companies for Women <strong>to</strong> Advance List recognizes<br />
companies that offer programs and policies that<br />
help women succeed in the workplace.<br />

in only two years!<br />
Membership entails making the “<strong>Parity</strong>Pledge®” –<br />
for every position at a Vice-President level or<br />
above, members commit <strong>to</strong> interview at least one<br />
qualified woman candidate. One of the simplest but<br />
most effective ways anyone can support [equality]<br />
this International Women’s Day is by taking the<br />
<strong>Parity</strong>Pledge® at <strong>Parity</strong>.<strong>org</strong>.”<br />
–Patrice Louvet, CEO Ralph Lauren<br />
"Nasdaq <strong>to</strong>ok the <strong>Parity</strong>Pledge in 2017 and since then<br />
we have fulfilled that pledge by addressing all open<br />
roles VP and higher. Since then, in just two and a half<br />
years, 50% of all new executive hires have been<br />
women. We are very proud of our progress.”<br />

and promotions are women!<br />
Best Buy achieves gender<br />
parity on board!<br />
"The <strong>Parity</strong>Pledge was a good push for us. It created<br />
heightened focus for gender diversity across the<br />
entire company. We started at the <strong>to</strong>p, and it was<br />
intentional, believing that if you can’t see it, you<br />
can’t be it.”<br />
–Kamy Scarlett, CHRO and President, U.S. Retail<br />
