Overview
Numerous studies underscore the importance of gender diversity as a driver of profitability, innovation and sustainability. At this ICMA Women’s Network event, which will be hosted by ZKB at their headquarters in Bahnhofstrasse, a distinguished panel of industry experts will explore the state of Switzerland's capital markets through the lens of diversity and gender equality.
The discussion will delve into the key drivers of gender diversity - ranging from good business management to market-led ESG requirements - and examine what it takes for women to succeed in the Swiss financial sector. Panellists will also consider how local firms are advancing genuine gender equality, the challenges they face, and the critical barriers that must be overcome to enable more women to achieve leadership roles in capital markets.
