The 2024 Break the ceiling touch the sky® Male Champions for Gender Equality is a collaboration of the world’s key Male Champions for Gender Equality in support of House of Rose Professional’s Mission 2029 for a Better World – which aims to shape a better world via better diversity & inclusion, better leadership and better business. The Measure for MISSION 2029 for a Better World is to quintuple the number of Female CEOs (base year 2020) and double the number of male (advocates for diversity) CEOs in the World’s 500 largest Companies by end 2029. Research shows that when men play a role in gender equality in the workplace, adoption is faster and organizations report faster progress on the gender equality agenda. Gender equality has a direct and positive impact on business ROI, innovation, Corporate Social responsibility and attraction as an employer of talent.
The 2024 Break the ceiling touch the sky® Male Champions for Gender Equality leverages research from the 2024 Break the ceiling touch the sky® 101 Best Global Companies for women in leadership index (derived from assessment of gender diversity scores of the world’s 500 largest companies)as well as additional data of male executives across another 300 companies. In all for this Male Champions list over 6500 male executives are being reviewed globally from over 800 Companies.
Five factors are used in the final determination of the Male Champions.
Active and visible advocacy for gender equality, Scale of influence, commitment to advancing women in leadership in their own organizations, supporting women to learn externally from other best in class organizations and investment in gender diversity & inclusion programming. Personal role-modelling for gender equality was used as the baseline factor.
The 2024 Break the ceiling touch the sky® Male Champions for gender equality are invited to support the 2024 World Edition of Break the ceiling touch the sky® – the success and leadership summit for women taking place in Singapore on Nov 11, 2024 and then the 2025 WORLD TOUR of the summit. The final list of 2024 Male Champions will be celebrated on this occasion based on confirmation of the nominees of their willingness and ability to contribute in some way to MISSION 2029 FOR A BETTER WORLD. A nomination on this list does not come with any “entry fee” or “nomination fee” and is not part of any certification program. Any support that the champions render to MISSION 2029 FOR A BETTER WORLD or to the global Break the ceiling touch the sky® summit is completely at the discretion of the nominees.
Since 2014 House of Rose Professional has enabled over 40000 women leaders and several thousand male allies to success via our initiatives around the world.
