SUMMARY:Gender Pay Gap Report Launch 2021
DESCRIPTION:What would it mean to pay women fairly for the value of their work? \nThis is a question the National Business Initiative (NBI) has set out to answer together with the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies (SCIS) at the University of Witwatersrand and with the support of the South African Rewards Association (SARA). The gender pay gap is a symptom of structural societal and economic inequity that not only detrimentally impacts women\, but affects whole economies. \nClosing the gender pay gap is about more than just equal pay for equal work. Fundamentally\, it is about addressing gender inequality\, which has far-reaching implications for building a sustainable and inclusive society. Gender pay parity is recognised as a crucial step in this regard and when addressed\, has the potential to fundamentally transform both economies and societies. \nIn partnership with the SCIS and SARA\, the NBI conducted the Gender Pay Gap Pilot to develop a methodology\, guided by economic models which leverage available company data\, to measure the pay gap within South African companies. The next step is to test methodologies for the calculation of gender pay disparities within companies. This involves developing a tool over the next few months\, which will allow companies to securely submit their datasets and measure their income discrepancies. \nThe results of the pilot process included a standardised methodology that can be applied across sectors. The solutions proposed for correcting the wage gap are available in our latest report\, which will be launched on 12 March 2021. Please join us online as we launch the Gender Pay Gap Report and discuss important findings from the pilot study. \nClick here to RSVP. \n\n\n                    \n                        \n                        \n                    \n\n        \n        Water security is no longer a future concern\, it is already affecting communities\, businesses\, cities\, economies and ecosystems. As pressure on water systems grows\, organisations need credible and practical ways to respond beyond their own operations. This is where water stewardship becomes critical     \n\n\n\n        \n        Join the National Business Initiative (NBI)\, in partnership with the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS)\, for a thought leadership webinar exploring the newly launched AWS Standard Version 3.0 the global benchmark for credible water stewardship.     \n\n        \n                    \n                    \n\n        \n                \n        \n    \n    \n        \n        \n                        \n        \n                        \n                        \n                        \n                    \n\n        \n        Building on the NBI’s early 2025 Thought Leadership Session\, which introduced the AWS Standard and the CEO Water Mandate’s Net Positive Water Impact (NPWI) Ambition Guide\, this session will explore how the AWS Standard Version 3.0 can help organisations move from ambition to practical action\, strengthening water management and supporting lasting impact for people\, nature and economies.     \n\n        \n                        \n        \n                        \n                        \n                        \n                    \n\n        \n        Participants will gain insights into: \n\nThe revised AWS Standard Version 3.0\nHow water stewardship can support utilities\, cities\, industries and other organisations\nSouth Africa’s water security challenges\nPractical examples of collective action and implementation\n    \n\n        \n                        \n        \n                        \n                        \n                        \n                    \n\n        \n    \n                                \n\n    \n    \n                    Speakers            \n    \n\n\n\n\n        \n        \nGarth Barnes: Programme Manager: Environment & Society\, National Business Initiative (NBI)\nFaith Lawrence (PhD): Head of Strategic Partnerships & Policy Engagement\, Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS)\nTyler Farrow: Standards Manager\, Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS)\nHelen Seyler: Technical Consulting Director\, ERM\n    \n\n        \n                        \n        \n                        \n                        \n                        \n                    \n\n        \n    \n                                \n\n    \n    \n                    Event Details:            \n    \n\n\n\n\n        \n        \nDate: Thursday\, 09 July 2026\nTime: 15h00 – 16h30 (SAST)\nPlatform: Online via Zoom\n    \n\n\n\n        \n        Join us to explore how the AWS Standard 3.0 can help organisations respond to today’s water challenges and create lasting positive impact for people\, nature\, and economies.     \n\n        \n                        \n        \n                        \n                        \n                        \n                    \n\n        \n                        \n                                                Click Here to RSVP
