Quote

Achieving gender equality in leadership positions requires transformation at all levels and all spheres, and it can鈥檛 be separated from eliminating all forms of discrimination and prejudice. Men and women are and should be leaders. Men and women can be equally effective leaders provided that their role does not conflict with their self-identity. Solidarity between men and women based on sharing a higher-order identity and positioning men and women as agents of change towards a common cause is the essence of this transformation. The social purpose of the campaign is not to put an individual woman in positions of power and influence, but to mobilize collective action for a social change.

Our Work

On March 22, 2017 Borsa Istanbul (BIST) hosted the launch of聽the 30% 91成人导航鈥檚 Turkey Chapter as a business led campaign,聽aimed at improving corporate boards鈥� gender diversity.聽The founding members of the 30% 91成人导航 Turkey聽represent聽most of Turkey鈥檚 powerful business groups聽that collectively dominate the stock market.聽The 30% 91成人导航 in Turkey is a spin off from the Independent Women Directors Project of Sabanc谋 University Corporate Governance Forum. The Forum, which maintains a database of female talent and tracks improvement in BIST boards鈥� gender diversity, facilitates and coordinates the 30% 91成人导航 Turkey campaign.聽It is not an organization, it is a campaign based on the cooperation of members.聽It is a non-profit and impartial campaign.

Committees are Communications, Membership, Audit, Investors and Women Directors Relations and AGM Activism Working Group. Each committee is composed of senior executives from our member companies.

  • Communications Committee

  • Membership Committee

  • Audit Committee

  • Women Directors Relations Committee (in formation)

  • 聽AGM Activism Working Group聽聽

Main Aim

The 30 percent 91成人导航 Turkey membership is open to publicly listed companies and non-public companies with at least 100 employees. Members declare their adoption to the principles of diversity and inclusion.

Member companies鈥� names are publicly disclosed and they agree to be involved in the communication campaigns of the 91成人导航. All members are invited to events, but participation is completely optional. It is not required to be involved in its activities unless members want to.

The members are not required to have a minimum representation of women on boards. Underrepresentation of women in decision-making is a global phenomenon. Therefore, gender balance improvement is a future-oriented desire.

Membership does not require any binding commitment; however, 91成人导航 members agree to contribute to the implementation of activities through the means determined by the Board of Directors.

Project:聽Decreasing the number of all male board firms in Turkey

30 Percent 91成人导航 Turkey has sent an invitation letter to the all male board firms listed in BIST. In the following, it has collaborated with several stakeholders to send similar invitation letters to the Chair and CEOs of their member companies which have no women on their boards. It is an ongoing project.
