GHD leaders pledge for parity for International Women’s Day

Leaders across Australia at GHD, one of the world’s leading engineering, architecture, environmental and construction services companies, have made their pledges in support of 2016 International Women’s Day.

The World Economic Forum predicts it will take until 2133 to achieve global gender parity, and the idea behind the campaign is to encourage each of us to consider what we can do for gender equality, according to International Women’s Day.

Phil Duthie, GHD’s General Manager – Australia, says, “In a historically male dominated industry, GHD champions gender balance by assisting both women and men to become technical innovators and business leaders.

“Driving change within the business and our industry at large is a journey that takes personal commitment. Each member of our Australian Leadership Team made their own pledge, in a united front on taking action.”

For the past two years, GHD has been named an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality by the Commonwealth Government’s Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA).
