The F&B industry is in dire need of a shake-up when it comes to leadership diversity. Astonishingly, only 35% of boards in 2020 had representation from historically marginalised groups, compared to an average 47% in the consumer-staples sector. Yet...when it comes to food production and buying decisions, women are the ones in charge. Estimates from the FOA show that women are responsible for 50% of the world's food production and over 80% of food purchasing decisions globally. So why the disconnect between the C-suite and the ground level of the industry?
Countless studies have proven that gender-balanced teams lead to sustainable business practices, increased profitability, and high performance. Simply put, the most gender-diverse businesses are also the most successful. As the evidence continues to mount in favour of gender diversity in the workplace, savvy business leaders are finding ways to boost the representation of women in their organisations. Will you join them in creating a more inclusive (and profitable!) food industry for all?
