ETI’s Gender Data Initiative aims to support corporate members to embark on a journey of collecting more and better gender-disaggregated supply chain data, as an integral part of supply chain risk assessments and monitoring.
Level Two Indicators help businesses and suppliers gather relevant data to investigate specific risk areas related to gender in the workplace. A total of six thematic areas have been identified with corresponding indicators that can provide evidence on how these issues might be affecting women workers compared to men. These indicators can also be used in monitoring and evaluation of supply chain initiatives.
Level Three Indicators are aimed at collecting data when looking to create systemic change that goes beyond the workplace to also factor in broader societal norms that influence behaviours in the workplace. These indicators are more relevant for evaluating specific programmes or when working on a collaborative initiative with other businesses, NGOs and trade unions. They are supplementary to Level Two indicators and can be collected alongside them.
This is the starting point for collecting the necessary gender-disaggregated data to better understand your supply chain. This includes workforce composition disaggregated by gender, business performance indicators related to turnover and absenteeism, as well as membership in trade unions/worker committees and overtime hours.
