Gender Balance Findings

We’re committed to empowering women in a typically male-dominated industry. To mark our commitment to gender equality, we have signed the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs). Developed by the UN, these are a set of Principles offering guidance to businesses on how to advance gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace.

A commitment is great – yet we want to drive change and take action. To drive this change, we realized we need a good picture of where we’re at in terms of gender equality today. So we’ve conducted a PNO-wide analysis of our gender balance. We analyzed how many women and men work at PNO, on different career levels, and across our different country offices. Across all PNO, we’re 31% women and 69% of men.

The bottom line? We’ve got work to do. That’s why we have introduced the “Women in Leadership” program. We introduced a leadership coaching program for selected women across PNO, we’re offering sponsorship for women, a min 50% representation of women across all trainings, and are doing a gender pay gap analysis.
