Progress on Climate:Women's Key Role

We are delighted to share our new article, “Progress on Climate: Women's Key Role” in collaboration with S&P Global and WOCAN. It highlights the crucial role women play globally in addressing the climate crisis, and how market-based solutions like the W+ Standard can be used to catalyze the advancement of women.

The W+ Standard, powered by the S&P Global Commodity Insights Environmental Registry, is the only women-specific standard that measures women’s empowerment in a transparent and quantifiable manner through the analysis of data collected within projects and communities. It provides a market-based mechanism that recognizes and rewards women’s contributions to economies, environments, and communities.

Empower Co. serves as a catalyst and connector in this voluntary market, representing all active W+ projects and facilitating the sale of their units to values-aligned buyers eager to invest in women. Many thanks to our partners at WOCAN and S&P Global for their contributions to this piece.
