#BreakTheBias on International Women’s Day 2022
International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, and a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. This year’s theme is #BreakTheBias: seeking a world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination, where difference is valued.
See all our #BreakTheBias poses below.
 | “When executing my duties and interacting with our teams and clients, I challenge myself to practice singularity of focus. To be all there! At home, at work, socially, gifting myself and others my presence.’’ Bongiwe Mbunge Partner, Business Sustainability, Mazars, South Africa |
 | “I challenge myself and my fellow partners to always recruit and promote on merit alone. We rarely consider if a father can balance their parental duties with their career so we should not have this bias with women, and must commit to providing equal opportunity for everyone.’’ Hervé Hélias CEO & Chairman, Mazars Group |
 | “An inclusive workplace is a diverse workplace where we all benefit from the added value people bring from their own perspectives. Uniformity does not open up our world. In both my private and professional life, I work to confront my own biases towards people that are different from those I am used to interacting with every day. In doing so, I enrich my daily life and work towards making Mazars a more inclusive workplace.’’ Véronique Ryckaert Managing Partner, Mazars, Belgium |
 | “I always make sure during a meeting that every participant around the table feels safe to speak.’’ Victor Wahba Managing Partner, Mazars, USA |
 | “Discriminations and stereotypes are the products of self-centric visions of the world. Every day, I fight for equality and inclusivity, challenging dominant behaviours. Today, more than ever, I want to reaffirm my fierce commitment to helping create a fair, safe and equitable world, where everyone can live and thrive.’’ Cécile Kossoff Global Diversity & Inclusion Leader, Mazars Group |
 | “Creating value for our business, our customers and our communities requires different perspectives. We must therefore be stewards of our environment, working to create a safe workplace where individuals from varied backgrounds, views and skills can thrive. Mazars is a firm that finds strength and value in difference. This strength enables us to solve our problems, move our business forward and, ultimately, serve our clients better.’’ Olivier Lenel Managing Partner, Mazars, France |
I am proud to be part of this initiative, led by the Gender Balance Observatory, with eight CEOs of preeminent companies in France, to reaffirm our commitment to achieving gender equality in our organisations. In times of crisis, it is critical to maintain, and even reinforce our attention and investments in this area, in particular as the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted - and sometimes increased...
Members of the French think tank the Observatory for Gender Balance have worked together to identify six measures proven to effectively accelerate corporate gender diversity. Mazars – a partner of the Observatory – co-developed this self-assessment questionnaire to give CEOs a practical tool to quickly assess if their company has implemented the “six measures that work”.
The correlation between gender diversity in top management and company performance is well established. Despite a strong case, and many initiatives in the public or corporate arena, change is not really happening and women are still widely under-represented in corporate top management. Setting clear expectations and objectives is a first step, then we need to leave some time for companies to build...
International Women’s Day, falling on 8 March in 2021, gives us a chance to reinforce our commitment to diversity and inclusion, and share our vision for our people and communities worldwide.
