Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 5, “Gender equality”, Pathway20 is our flagship initiative that is actively working towards increasing board-level female representation in the UAE.
Our flagship initiative is increasing female representation on corporate governing boards, and strengthening the pipeline of experienced and talented female board directors through a unique ecosystem approach.
The inaugural cohort launched in November 2020 with ten talented women from leading UAE organisations, including ADNOC, Mubadala Investment Company, Abu Dhabi Ports, and First Abu Dhabi Bank.
