Ukraine: Sayenko Kharenko Joins The Women’s Empowerment Principles

Sayenko Kharenko proudly announces entering the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), a set of guidelines designed to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace, marketplace, and community.

The WEPs serve as a pivotal vehicle for corporate contributions to the gender equality dimensions of the 2030 agenda and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. By joining the WEPs community, Sayenko Kharenko signals a dedication to cultivating business practices that empower women. Key components include advocating for equal pay for work of equal value, implementing gender-responsive supply chain practices, and maintaining zero tolerance against sexual harassment in the workplace.
