Chapters Advancing Gender Equity in CPG and Retail

Our Chapters connect professionals across Europe who are committed to creating inclusive workplaces, elevating women in leadership, and advancing gender equity in the CPG and Retail industry.

What are LEAD Network Chapters?

LEAD Network Chapters are vibrant, communities by the Members, for the Members, formed around a shared region or function. They’re designed to bring our network together — to network, collaborate, and lead — while advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. Many Chapters hold virtual events, in both English and local languages.

Each Chapter reflects the LEAD Network’s vision of a diverse and equitable workforce where everyone can contribute and grow, and where organisations thrive.

Key benefits of joining a Chapter:

  • Local and functional networking

  • Professional development in CPG and retail
  • Collective action on workplace inclusion

“LEAD Network brings together people and companies from different countries. This network gives us the opportunity to step away from the day-to-day business challenges and free from stereotypes, to look at the bigger picture. It allows us to reflect on what we can do to become better—for our teams, our customers, and society as a whole.”
