Women Sustainability Forum
2016

REGIONAL FORUMS

​In collaboration with partners and investors, the Women Sustainability Forum (in-situ and online) aims to discuss best practices, impact research and entrepreneurial endeavours concerning women, sustainability, leadership and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Launched in 2015, the Women Sustainability Forum has taken the form of workshops, seminars and group discussions in various regions across the globe. 

The Women Sustainability Forum is intended to discuss case studies that cuts across various areas of sustainability sincere, policy and practice. The way that women are represented or challenged within disruptive industries and challenging environments, the linkages with the industry and socio-environmental sustainability issues, attraction and retention of women in sustainability at the work place, inclusive sustainable business models, women entrepreneurs and implications for their livelihoods, for example, are some of the topics the forum covers. 

WOMEN SUSTAINABILITY FORUM 2016
Central America

Location: Medellin, Colombia
​Impact: At the global level, there has been a rapid development of the extractive industry (mining, oil and gas), compromising human capital in the regions where it operates, particularly that of women. In this context, the Forum explored the links between the extractive industry and opportunities for the sustainable human capital development of women in the extractive industry. The absence of an approach for the attraction, retention and sustainable development of women in the extractive industry, in the current scenario is not only causing productivity losses in extractive companies, but also puts at risk regional sustainability.

In this context, the objective of the Forum was to carry out an informative / consultative process to explore opportunities for attraction and sustainable human capital development of women in the extractive industry (mining, oil and gas) at the local and global levels. It also sought to generate recommendations aimed at creating social and corporate sustainability approaches that generate added value for various stakeholders, namely, industry, women in mining, oil and gas, governments and civil society. Some of the topics covered by the Forum were, among others:
1. Sustainable human. capital development of women in industry: A new approach to corporate social sustainability
2. Attraction and retention of women in the extractive industry
3. Women in mining, oil and gas: An emerging global approach to social license in the extractive industry
