Français THE GECE LABEL
Why choose the GECE label?
It is widely acknowledged that the dynamism of the private sector in modern economies is a powerful driver of wealth creation and poverty reduction through job creation.
How can we help companies and governments to succeed in the challenge of development and industrialization by creating more wealth and fighting poverty?
GECED, through the implementation of a vast business certification program called the "Gender and Competitiveness of Enterprises" Label (GECE Label), aims to make a contribution to this major challenge.
The GECE label aims to highlight the exceptional contribution of the gender approach to the development of societies and organizations where it has been tried out.
Officially presented to the national and international community, the GECE Label proposes a totally innovative approach to contribute to the competitiveness of companies through the gender approach.
The implementation of the Label also responds to the need to strengthen the performance and competitiveness of companies based on competent, fulfilled human capital that is totally open to gender issues.
