CSIL is proud to announce the launch of its Gender Equality Plan (GEP) 2024-2026, a strategic initiative designed to foster gender equality and promote an inclusive organisational culture. Aligned with guidelines from the European Commission and the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE), the plan ensures compliance with both EU and national legislation, marking a significant milestone in CSIL’s commitment to social justice and non-discrimination.
A New Chapter in CSIL’s Commitment to Equality. Building on our longstanding values of fairness, transparency, and social responsibility, and previous work on gender equality, the plan consolidates CSIL’s approach to inclusion. It addresses key organisational areas to enhance equality in the workplace, aligning with the organisation’s mission to contribute to socio-economic development through research.
Four Key Focus Areas. The plan focuses on four strategic areas identified as critical for promoting gender equality at CSIL.
Our ongoing efforts are designed to ensure that all employees, especially women, continue to thrive in an environment that upholds inclusivity and combats stereotypes. This is crucial for maintaining a healthy and innovative workplace.
CSIL’s Dedication to Diversity and Innovation. CSIL believes that diversity and inclusion are not just human rights but also powerful drivers of innovation and growth. As a research organisation, we know that gender equality improves decision-making, fosters creativity, and enhances productivity. With the majority of our workforce and leadership being female, our efforts now focus on sustaining and building upon the positive work environment we have cultivated.
Implementation and Continuous Monitoring. A dedicated Working Group has been appointed to oversee the GEP’s implementation, ensuring continuous progress and improvement. Specific actions, measurement criteria, and objectives have been outlined for each area, with periodic reviews set to monitor the impact of our initiatives.
The Gender Equality Plan is available online in a web version. For further details or to request the full version, please contact us.
