There has never been a more important time for men to advocate for gender equality. Companies with 30% women executives bring in as much as 6 percentage points more in profits. Companies appearing on the Break the ceiling touch the sky®101 Global Index grow sales and profits faster and more consistently then Companies off the Index* (2020-2024 Research). 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
