BSR Insight | HERproject Report Reveals Positive Impacts on Women and Business
According to BSR's new report on HERproject, our factory-based women's health initiative has provided positive benefits for business and significantly improved women's health awareness, leadership skills, and relationships with their employers.
The report summarizes the impacts of HERproject programs to date, which have touched approximately 50,000 women in China, Egypt, India, Mexico, Pakistan, and Vietnam. Current projects include eight multinational companies, 30 factories, eight local organizations, and multiple health-service clinics and local government departments.
The report includes:
- The business case for investing in women: Women support their communities, repay their loans faithfully, and provide exemplary leadership on issues from politics to health.
- How HERproject works: BSR links international companies with local NGOs and factories to deliver workplace programs to improve women’s health and promote business value.
- Case studies: Eight stories include personal perspectives from women, factory managers, and company representatives.
- Call to action: Companies have the opportunity to join HERproject and/or create their own programs to educate and empower women.
