“ Engage
for impact!
”
FOREWORD
T
he Women’s Forum for the Economy & Society is a leading
platform dedicated to highlighting women’s voices and added-
values on global issues. We believe in women leaders’ distinctive
capacity to create positive impact on their employees, communities
and societies.
Headquartered in Paris with global influence, the Women’s Forum
for the Economy & Society manifests a commitment to women’s
leadership and progress throughout the year with a range of Initiatives
in partnership with businesses, cultural and media leaders and non-
governmental organisations.
Our yearly Global Meeting in Paris has become an unmissable and
incomparable date on the international conference calendar – a place
to be and to be heard.
With our powerful network that unleashes women’s leadership, our
ambition to promote our values through dialogue and concrete solutions,
we are transitioning from a convening focus to engaging for impact.
We empower leaders – both women and men – to make a difference.
We strive to build bridges between generations, countries and cultures.
We encourage tolerance and solidarity for and among women in every
sector, wherever they are, through daring dialogue at our Meetings
around the world.
Working with the support of our partners and delegates, the Women’s
Forum has convened decision-makers, pioneers and trailblazers to
accelerate the impact of women’s leadership and empower women
across society. When we make progress for women, we make life better
for everyone.
This year’s aspiration to take the lead for inclusion as a means of
creating a more cohesive and vibrant society is a natural continuation
of our past work and our powerful vision for the future. We invite you
to join us.

VISION
Taking the lead for inclusion
U
nder the vision of taking the lead for inclusion, the Women’s
Forum in 2019 will focus on informing, influencing and
empowering women and men to step up, to take action to change
the status quo, to break the barriers for women. In many countries
and societies, efforts have been made, best practices shared, public
policies implemented to narrow the gender gap but much has to
be done to accelerate the progress on gender equality. As we face
the opportunities and challenges brought by digital transformation,
political upheavals, climate change among many other trends of 2019,
it’s critical to integrate diversity and inclusiveness as indispensable
standards for sustainable and progressive development.
Aimee Mullins 2019 will be the year of challenge and year of results. We will deliver
what we promise: concrete actions and solution to promote women in
the economy and society. It is now time to take the lead all year round
in all our events, to influence global agenda including the G7 and G20.
This year, our ambitious agenda is to leverage individual and collective
leadership to construct impactful conversations and drive solutions
generated at our Meetings towards concrete results.
With this overarching theme, the Global and Regional Meetings of the
Women’s Forum for the Economy & Society are animated by programmes
and initiatives taking on the most pressing global issues and challenges
facing humanity. The related themes of each meeting help to organise
our collective thinking and unlock a body of insights and content that
create influence and impact throughout the year.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
With each programme, our goal is to focus on driving the discussion
Jean-Bernard Lévy
towards action and ask participants – what do we do next?
We are committed to bringing diverse perspectives to these
discussions. They include leaders from different backgrounds and
experiences, multiple geographical regions, both the public and private
sector, including cultural organisations and NGOs. We also succeed in
creating a mix of established and up-and-coming contributors to our
plenary sessions and discussions, moving beyond the usual suspects.
With their finger on the pulse of established and emergent issues, our
speakers put our programme at the leading edge of a global exchange
of ideas.
We hope that you will join us to take the lead and bring women
leadership on all essential issues.

GLOBAL PRESENCE Organising trailblazing Meetings around the world I llustrating the Women’s Forum’s increasingly vital role worldwide as a powerful platform for women’s voices, the flagship Women’s Forum Global Meeting in Paris, builds on the success of Women’s Forum Meetings with a regional focus. Under the vision of Bridging Humanity, in 2018 the Women’s Forum Canada was a unique opportunity to generate concrete ideas to inform and influence the agenda of the G7 Summit, bringing a crucial gendered perspective on topics like inclusive growth, economic empowerment, climate action and shaping lives through technology. In September, the inaugural Women’s Forum Singapore was the pioneering event to foster women’s leadership for social progress and economic impact in Singapore and in the region, bringing continuity and add global perspective to the Women’s Forum Global Meeting in Paris in November. 2019 will be a year full of actions for the Women’s Forum as we take the lead on how inclusion foster sustainable and equitable development for women and men in an increasingly disrupted world. In collaboration with the Grand Duchess Foundation, Women’s Forum will be in Luxembourg to empower victims of sexual violence in fragile environments with the international conference Stand Speak Rise Up. Women’s Forum Americas and Women’s Forum Asia in May and in September respectively will lead the discussions and practices on feminine leadership, inclusivity and diversity from Americas to Asia. The Women’s Forum Global Meeting in November will be the culmination of year-long discussion and actions, together with the Women’s Forum community and partners, to tackle global issues through gendered perspectives and inclusive solutions.

WOMEN’S FORUM STRATEGIC COMMITTEE
I
n 2018, with the Women’s Forum, the Global
Strategic Members: American Express, AXA, BNP
Paribas, Google, L’Oréal, Microsoft, P&G, Publicis
Groupe, Sanofi co-construct the objectives and
goals for the year, providing leadership, direction
and expertise to inform the overall positioning
of the organisation as well as its priorities. As a
committed group of global leaders representing a
diverse group of sectors and industries, the Global
Strategic Members help to ensure that the Women’s
Forum aligns its work to the most significant global
challenges.
The engagement of Strategic Committee in the
Women’s Forum Meetings around the world, in the
five Daring Circles has generated long-term positive
impact throughout the year on global issues most
affecting women and where the leadership of
women is paramount.Promoting Women’s Forum key goals over the long-term through Initiatives
DARING CIRCLES
B
uilding on the theme of the Global Meeting in October 2017 – “Daring to lead in a disrupted
world”, the Daring Circles invites leaders to question assumptions, and to re-engage for the
impact they want to create. The ambition of the Daring Circles is to translate the rich agenda
of these Meetings into permanent conversations delivering tangible positive societal and economic
outcomes.
The Daring Circles will invite select business leaders, experts and influencers to do exactly that:
engage for long-term positive impact on issues where the leadership of women is paramount,
supporting it and empowering women to take action across society. Together, the Daring Circles
will inform and shape the debate on those issues and promote collaborative ways of working among
our institutions in the face of continuing global disruption.
How will the Daring Circles work?
• Each programme will feature a combination of strategic members, a knowledge partner(s) to source
content and insights and an institutional partner(s) with relevant policy influence and expertise (eg;
OECD, UNWomen, ICRC, C40).
• Daring Circles are designed to generate evidence-based insights that will motivate and arouse
action among both Daring Circle members and beyond.
WOMEN & ACCESS TO HEALTH
The Women & Access to Health Daring Circle is led by AXA and Sanofi in collaboration with BNP
Paribas and Google, and in association with RB and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This circle of
partners aims to improve and promote women’s access to health, in both developed and developing
countries, by supporting emerging technologies that are addressing these gaps.
There are many barriers obstructing women’s access to health. Shortcomings in data or research to
inform healthcare providers about women’s particular healthcare needs can result in misdiagnosis
or improper treatment – including for mental health. Limited awareness, education and lack of
information can limit women’s ability to care for themselves. Excessive distances and cost, in both
time and money, are all interrelated factors that create difficulties for women in acquiring the care
that they need. We are committed to addressing these issues, and in particular promoting women’s
leadership in developing solutions.
To put this commitment into action, we are collectively sponsoring a call for initiatives. Our goal is
to support entrepreneurs and innovators who are creating solutions that improve women’s access
to health and promote the role of women in enabling and providing access to health.
WOMEN & AI
The technologies behind artificial intelligence have the potential to power safer self-driving cars,
diagnose diseases, assess risk in lending, make better hiring decisions and otherwise transform
every aspect of society. Yet, as innovations involving machine learning systems accelerate the
pace of development and application, the risk of learning from human biases becomes increasingly
acute. If we fail to build systems that are inclusive by design, there is no knowing the true
extent to which these systems will amplify bias in our communities, workplaces and societies.
This Daring Circle will trace how gender bias creeps into machine learning systems in order to
recommend practices to root out bias in systems driven by algorithms, and also create opportunities
for AI to identify manifestations of bias in human behaviours.DARING CIRCLES
WOMEN & CLIMATE CHANGE
Plotting a future to unleash solutions: Changing the story of women in the face of climate change
Women are very likely to be disproportionately affected by the effects of climate change. The extent
and nature of this burden and, more crucially, the ability of the world to head-off such an unequal
outcome will depend in large part upon what action we take - be it political, technological or economic
– to mitigate and adapt to climate change. To understand the unique effect that these efforts will
have on women, and to harness women’s leadership in limiting climate change itself, it is critical
that we apply a gendered perspective to the future scenarios that different drivers might lead us to.
Using a scenario approach, this Daring Circle will project the impacts of climate change on women in
different contexts (urban, rural, geographies, etc.) to profile and inform sector-specific and cross-
sectoral solutions that acknowledge gendered components of climate mitigation and adaptation.
WOMEN & STEM
From enabling the agenda for the SDGs to shaping the jobs of the future, STEM is reshaping the world
we live in. How can we make the tactical moves needed to ensure that women are in the foreground
of this conversation? The Daring Circle in STEM aims to take action to increase the participation
of women in STEM at the grassroots and beyond – whether it is changing the narrative around the
subject to be more recognisable, reskilling of the existing workforce or democratising access to
education and digital skills training. Through shared perspectives - organisation, institutions and
businesses will collaborate for quantitative action.
WOMEN & SUPPLIER DIVERSITY
As companies across the globe are becoming more aware of the need for diversity in their supply
chains, they are putting in place programmes to increase that diversity. On average, supplier
diversity programmes add US$3.5 million to the bottom line for every US$1 million in procurement
operation costs. But diverse supply chains are more prominent in the United States with Europe and
other regions lagging behind. There is an opportunity to build the muscle of European businesses
and their supply chains going forward.
This Daring Circle seeks to examine the current state of supplier diversity, profile best-practices and
encourage large corporates to take action to incorporate more women-led an owned businesses in
their supply chains. Ultimately we are looking to define the framework for, and establish a European
database and scorecard to track the progress of partner organisations in the number of women
suppliers and spend on supplier diversity initiatives.

WOMEN’S FORUM INITIATIVES
Tracking and driving
measurable progress for
women’s advancement
L
aunched in 2010, CEO Champions is an
initiative designed to drive progress and
accountability for women’s advancement in
the private and public sectors. The peer-to- peer
network presents an opportunity for CEOs to
underscore their organisation’s commitment to
women’s advancement as well as taking a strong
leadership role in the broader global economy
and society. CEO Champions members are active,
highly committed participants who track and drive
measurable progress for women’s advancement
through on-record mutual commitments and
accountability.
In 2018, more than 150 CEOs gathered at our CEO
Champions workshops, organized in partnership
with McKinsey & Company, in Canada, Singapore
and France to have candid conversations about
how to create the conditions for revolutionary
change in their companies and industries as well
as changes that they would commit to within their
organisations to forge the path ahead for gender
equality.
Now in its ninth year, the CEO Champions Initiative
is a pioneer as a high-level international platform
that advocates for the inclusion of both men and
women at the leadership level in the private as well
as the public sector.Amandine Ayrem, Anne-Gabrielle Heilbronner, Caroline Hadrbolec, Amélie Negrier-Oyarzabal, Isabelle Xoual, Paula Paschoal, Virginie Morgon, Carole Daou, Eline Vrijland, Emilie Leichnam, Mathilde Guyot, Shweta Sharma, Anna Filipova, Vèna Arielle Ahouansou, Pooja Kapoor, Elina Kousourna, Gwenaelle Huet, Rekha Kamat, Lily Cheng
WOMEN’S FORUM INITIATIVES
Nurturing talent among
women for the future of
global business and
society
T
he Women’s Forum Rising Talents Initiative
aims to distinguish highly talented young
women who are on their way to becoming
influential figures in our economies and societies.
This initiative is a commitment to promote women
leaders and bring the vision of rising generations to
the Women’s Forum.
The Women’s Forum for the Economy & Society
and its partners share a common belief: that the
identification and nurturing of talent among women
is critical for the future of global business and
society. Each year some 15 young women join the
Rising Talents network, attend the Women’s Forum
Global Meeting and regional Women’s Forum
Meetings, and benefit from enhanced networking
activities during these events and in the future.
In 2018, the Women’s Forum, together with
Eurazeo, Lazard and Spencer Stuart, selected
11 inspiring wo¬men under 40 from among 200
candidates, represented a diver¬sity of sectors,
from healthcare and biotechnologies to sustainable
development and business innovation. Nominees
were selected on the basis of having demonstrated
outstanding skills, leadership, open-mindedness,
an international mindset, and bravery in their
personal and professional lives. All have had a
highly positive impact in their spheres of influence.Women’s Forum

Bridging humanity for inclusive progress
(14-16 November 2018 - Paris)
F
or a society to flourish, the connections among
its people must be strong. Our societies and
economies are a web of relationships among
people, organisations, institutions and ecosystems.
Recent events and trends have widened many of
the divisions between countries, political parties,
religions, generations, among institutions and
within communities. Healing the fractures that have
propagated across society’s many dimensions
requires reconciling diverse perspectives and
advancing together towards a shared vision.
The Women’s Forum Global Meeting 2018 seeks
to be part of that movement by examining global
social and economic issues through the lens of
bridging humanity. It looks to create the conditions
to unlock fresh solutions through women’s
leadership – especially for those challenges that
disproportionately impact women – and contribute
to a more inclusive world for all.
Attracted more than 2500 leaders from 90
countries, the Women’s Forum Global Meeting
2018 discussed the most critical issues of our time,
from climate change to technological disruption
throughout the three days of the event. With the
speaking engagements of influential, passionate
and visionary leader from a diversity of sectors and
industries, the discussion and spirited debate at the
Global Meeting examined the world’s most pressing
issues and envisioned solutions. This exploration
of solutions was grouped into three main pillars:
shifting mind-sets, reimagining organisations and
putting technology to work. The world’s problems
concern all humans, not just women, but women
have a growing role in resolving them. Women
leaders offer fresh perspectives; they take a long-
term view, and they are skilled at building bridges
and creating the conditions for action and impact.Clara Gaymard, Gabriela Ramos, Audrey Azoulay, Anne-Gabrielle Heilbronner, Chiara Corazza Ángel Gurría, Audrey Azoulay

Bridging worlds for inclusive innovation

S
ingapore’s diverse and multicultural
perspectives to tackle challenges has made
it a thriving hub for investment, talent,
research, development, and more. Holding the
chairmanship on the completion of 50 years of
ASEAN, Singapore is leading the region toward a
disrupted age innovatively and dynamically.
Gathered more than 800 delegates from 55
countries, Women’s Forum Singapore works on
ensuring that women are as much the cause, as
part of this progress. Focusing on smart cities,
technology, investment and more, Women’s Forum
Singapore was a pioneering event to foster women’s
leadership for social progress and economic impact
in Singapore, ASEAN, Asia and beyond. It also
amplified the exchange of pioneering technologies
and solutions between France and Singapore in
their joint Year of Innovation by giving a platform
to entrepreneurs, CEOs and start-ups from early
stages to seed level to share insights and best
practices from their industries.
In an era of continuing disruption, it is imperative
to look beyond the status quo, to tap into the
power of human imagination and to envision many
alternatives for a more sustainable and inclusive
future, whether smart and green cities, more
people-oriented work or a more equitable and
inclusive society.Mdm Halimah Yacob, President of the Republic of Singapore Dr. Swan Gin Beh, Chiara Corazza, Mdm Halimah Yacob, Clara Gaymard

Bridging the gap: A call to the G7 for inclusive progress
(10-11 May 2018 - Toronto, Canada)
T
he G7 is a uniquely influential coalition for
decision-making and policy alignment among
the world’s leading economies.
It has a powerful influence on the shape and
direction of global solutions, whether through the
policy frameworks it chooses to apply, such as
the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), or
through the specific issues it chooses to address.
Thus, the G7’s leaders know they have to listen to
diverse voices in order to make their deliberations
as inclusive as possible. Women’s voice is certainly
one of them.
With disruption and division dominating headlines,
the bloc has never been more important. The
issues at stake on their agenda – inclusive growth,
jobs for the future, women’s empowerment, climate
change and security – require urgent action to
engage for impact and break out of outdated
patterns and mindsets that stymie progress. We
believe that women can provide the innovative
views, perspectives and daring leadership that are
needed to bridge humanity’s challenges and return
the world’s economies to the path of stability,
security and inclusive human progress.
Women’s Forum Canada 2018 gathered 700 leaders
from the G7 countries and beyond to reflect,
react, bring best practices and added value to the
topics on the G7’s agenda. Grounded in potential
solutions and actions, Women’s Forum Canada
offered a distinct view of how to bridge the gaps in
an increasingly divided world – between developed
and emerging economies, between the private and
public sectors, between men and women, between
the included and the excluded. It challenged the G7
not just to take on the issue of gender equality but
to unlock the transformative potential of women’s
leadership with the goal of having an impact on
decision-makers.Kareen Rispal, Clara Gaymard, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, Anne-Gabrielle Heilbronner, HRH Princess Lalla Hasnaa Chiara Corazza Sophie Grégoire Trudeau and Dayle Haddon The CEO Champions The Honourable Maryam Monsef, Minister of Status of Women of Canada Nathalie Palladitchef, Anjuli Pandit Chiara Corazza and Alejandro Cardoso (in the middle) Gloria Guevara

his is an opportunity to look at major trends
and realise an open and culturally dynamic
21st century Mexico. Better leadership must
go together with new leadership – new modes of
managing companies and unleashing Mexico’s
talent, new identities and inspiration for Mexicans
as a people and for the country in the region and
the world.
This second edition of Women’s Forum Mexico
brought together women and men, each an
influencer or high potential in his or her field, for
forward-looking debates intended to contribute to
national renewal, encourage corporate innovation,
and support individual leadership development.
Our premise was that women’s experience,
expertise, and vision are essential for achieving
viable social and economic advancements – so we
featured women leaders from Mexico and abroad in
dialogue with their men counterparts.
On the agenda for Women’s Forum Mexico:
• How to promote more civic engagement to
strengthen Mexico’s leadership?
• Diversification: Our no. 1 priority
• The trends we must take into account for a
thriving 21st century workforce
• Do it! Being leaders in our sectors
• Learning from Mexico’s successes in doing
business with Canada and Latin America
• Changing the narrative for women: A needed
cultural dialogue

Engage for impact! Daring to lead in a disrupted world
(5-6 October 2017 - Paris, France)
W
e live in urgent times. The world has been
rocked by political, social, economic
and environmental shifts. Unexpected
election results revealed the fault lines in our
societies. Populism and protectionism are rising,
political tensions are escalating, armed conflict
and natural disasters caused by climate change are
destroying livelihoods and lives. At the same time,
accelerating technological innovation, automation
and artificial intelligence are changing not just the
way we work, but also the way we relate to each
other and conceive of our place in the world.
The Women’s Forum Global Meeting 2017 attracted
2,000 delegates from more than 81 countries to
discuss the most critical issues of our time, from
climate change to technological disruption. The
Meeting took as its theme, “Engage for impact!
Daring to lead in a disrupted world!”
Some of the world’s most influential, passionate
and visionary leaders spoke. Delegates included
women who work in war zones, artists, influencers,
entrepreneurs, business executives, young
rising talents and many others. Special country
delegations added to the depth and complexity
of discussions. Through discussion and spirited
debate, they examined the world’s most pressing
issues and envisioned solutions.
This exploration of solutions was grouped into
five main pillars: daring to lead, embracing our
humanity, harnessing technology, thriving through
creativity and shaping the future of work.
The world’s problems concern all humans, not just
women, but women have a growing role in resolving

Women’s Forum Rome 2017
Revitalising Europe with women’s energy
for peace and prosperity
(26-27 June 2017 - Rome, Italy)
W
omen’s Forum Rome gathered more
than 200 thought-leaders representing
government and business, Nobel
prizewinners and top-level personalities across
all sectors from Europe and from Mediterranean
countries. Our ambition is to mobilise women’s
energy to bolster and restore confidence in
the future of Europe, and to build new bridges
and facilitate dialogue between Europe and all
Mediterranean countries.
The Treaty of Rome gave rise to the European
Union and to the common desire to improve living
standards, guarantee social protection, combat
discrimination, encourage cross-border mobility
and promote democracy and personal freedom.
Six decades after the Treaty of Rome was signed,
the European Union has been reeling from one
emergency to another, and EU leaders have
responded with a “roadmap” in an effort to restore
confidence and rally support for its core mission: to
achieve lasting peace and growth for its 500 million
citizens.
Women’s Forum Rome created momentum and
delivered strong messages for co-operation,
growth, research & innovation, energy,
infrastructure, mobility, investment & finance,
education, culture. And it provided an opportunity
to discuss and take action on behalf of European
values, to foster prosperity and secure peace.
