Today, 25 September, WJI 2030 held the “Forward Faster: Why Collective Action Matters” Leadership Summit at the United Nations, welcoming over 150 experts from the UN, top industry executives and associations in the watch and jewellery sector, and government representatives to the UN to discuss advancing gender equality within the sector.
We were honoured to have leaders Cyrille Vigneron (Co-Chair WJI 2030, Chairman of Cartier Culture and Philanthropy), Alexander Lacik (CEO of Pandora), Ilaria Resta (CEO of Audemars Piguet), Antonella Centra (EVP General Counsel, Corporate Affairs and Sustainability at Gucci), and Raj Mehta (Director at Rosy Blue) come together to address one of the most critical issues of our time: gender equality.
Together we explored initiatives across the value chain – from sourcing to retail, with panellists sharing their unique learnings and experiences on this topic and their view on the way forward.
One clear outcome of the panel is that it’s no longer about the why, but the how.
