In an era where the call for gender equality reverberates louder than ever, CEO Summit Uganda proudly stands at the forefront of change, solidifying its commitment to fostering inclusive environments.
Recently, we had the esteemed privilege of participating in the "Ring the Bell for Gender Equality" event orchestrated by Uganda Securities Exchange and UN Women – under the theme, "Invest in Women – Accelerate Progress", marking a significant milestone in our journey towards promoting women empowerment.
Hosted on March 15th, 2024, the event served as a rallying cry for organizations worldwide to take concrete steps towards gender parity.
It was an honour to join forces with esteemed entities like USE, Stanbic Bank, FITSPA and DFCU Bank, both renowned for their unwavering dedication to advancing gender equality within their spheres of influence.
At the CEO Summit, we recognize the pivotal role businesses play in shaping societal norms and values.
By actively participating in initiatives like the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPS), we reaffirm our commitment to creating workplaces that prioritize equality and inclusivity.
Our decision to sign up for WEPS aligns seamlessly with our core values, amplifying our pledge to champion gender equality in all facets of our operations.
The significance of our participation in the "Ring the Bell for Gender Equality" event extends far beyond mere symbolism. It underscores our steadfast dedication to effecting tangible change and serves as an inspiration for others to follow suit.

Their tireless efforts in championing the cause of women's rights serve as a beacon of hope for countless individuals worldwide.
The CEO Summit Uganda is honoured to have been part of this transformative event, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to driving positive change in the realm of gender equality.
