Our Mission
CEOs for Gender Equity (CGE) exists to support leaders to influence the systems, policies and practices that shape a gender-equitable world.
We convene CEOs and heads of state in a trusted peer environment where leaders share insight, strengthen accountability and translate commitment into practical organisational change.
We recognise that gendered barriers and expectations affect people of all genders. These include women’s representation in leadership, gender pay equity, men’s engagement in parenting and caring, equitable access to flexible work, and gendered segregation across roles and industries.
CGE's role is to cut through noise and focus leadership attention on what's working and what is not. We help organisations identify barriers, strengthen capability and create the conditions for people, teams and communities to thrive.
CGE members outperform the state and national average
Across pay, strategy and parental leave, organisations led by CGE members set the pace, consistently ahead of both the Western Australian and Australian benchmarks.
