Win-Win, gender equality is good business.
Win-Win Program
Lumin (Uruply SA) is a signatory of the Women Empowerment Principles (WEPs) within the framework of the Win-Win program: Gender equality is good business, financed by the European Union (EU)'s Partnership Instrument and carried out by UN Women in association with the International Labour Organization in order to promote gender equality through the private sector. The WEPs, created y UN Women and the United Nations Global Compact, give companies the opportunity to adopt policies and invest in promoting gender equality in the workplace, production process and communities. The Win-Win program opens up a path for the private sector to assume its role within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with an emphasis on SDG 5 (Gender equality), SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth), SDG 10 (Reduced inequalities) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the goals). Lumin (Uruply S.A) has been trained with the program's workshops and support to work on reaching these goals.
