The WEPs are a set of principles created by UN Global Compact and UN Women. They provide guidance to companies on how to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace, marketplace and community. At Sophora, we want to go beyond promoting gender equality in the workplace and promote diversity in all areas where we can make an impact from an investor’s perspective. As such, our Female Empowerment strategy is a key component of Sophora’s value creation, ESG and investment approach. We are committed to increasing diversity and inclusion not only in our portfolio companies, but also among our investors and in the private equity industry itself.
