The CEO Pledge

A public pledge to accelerate gender parity and drive inclusion in the European Retail & CPG value chain.

Transformation through diversity

Why sign the CEO Pledge?

Signing a public pledge brings accountability to your organisation and shows that you take DEI issues seriously. To date, over 50 industry CEOs have signed this pledge.

  • Demonstrate your commitment to DEI to your employees, stakeholders, and the broader public

  • Create accountability for your company by signing the pledge amongst the world’s leading brands

  • Contribute to building a stronger, more diverse organisation that represents everybody

“The CEO Pledge is a ‘seal’, a public commitment.”

“It’s very important that the CEO Pledge is signed by as many companies as possible. LEAD Network is a great platform to support best practice sharing and progress monitoring. It’s no longer a one-off company move, but instead an industry-wide movement, where members support each other and are united to tackle challenges and find solutions. The CEO Pledge is a ‘seal’, a public commitment, showing the company believes in diversity and will make it happen.”
