SUMMARY:Thought Leadership Series: Achieving Gender Equality in South Africa’s Corporate Sector
DESCRIPTION:The National Business Initiative (NBI) and the Global Compact Network SA are hosting a Thought Leadership Session on Gender Equality in the corporate sector. \nGender inequality in the workplace mirrors inequalities in society more broadly\, and in complex ways intersect with issues of power relations\, race\, and class with black women often at the lowest end of the hierarchies. \nAs part of the NBI’s work with companies on social and economic transformation\, the upcoming session will begin an action-focused conversation with companies to: \n\nCreate understanding on the extent to which complex societal power relations converge to undermine gender equality in the economic sector and how companies can be more deliberate in driving transformative change.\nUnderstand best practice and the various practical ways that companies can contribute to gender equality.\nIdentify appropriate tools\, methodologies and guidelines that can assist companies to diagnose gaps\, implement action in key areas and strengthen their performance.\nIdentify a core group of companies interested in championing and piloting available tools and mechanisms to enhance gender performance.\n\nPlease click ACCEPT should you wish to attend this session.

SUMMARY:Roundtable for Social and Ethics Committee Members of Company Boards
DESCRIPTION:By April 2012\, boards of designated companies were expected to have set up Social and Ethics Committees\, with a mandate to report back to shareholders annually on the company’s performance on a range of social\, governance and environmental responsibilities. This is in accordance with section 72 (4) of the Companies Act 71 0f 2008. \nFive years since the Regulation became effective\, it is under review by the Department of Trade and Industry. One recurring issue for many companies and for the Regulator\, is how to enable the Committee to be more effective in driving value for the Company and for society more broadly. \nThe Roundtable will bring together Social & Ethics Committee members of company boards for exchange of knowledge and experiences. Please contact Achieng Ojwang for further information. \n

SUMMARY:Building Partnerships for the Protection of Children - Johannesburg

The trafficking in adults and children for sexual purposes is a lucrative illegal business everywhere in the world. Globally\, children comprise nearly one-third of all trafficking victims.
