The 50-30 Challenge

The Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion is pleased to announce that we have partnered with the UN Global Compact Network Canada to develop and facilitate a series of tailored workshops that will provide a roadmap and tested strategies to help organizations who are currently participating in the 50-30 Challenge.

These workshops are designed to build capacity among 50-30 Challenge participants to incorporate diversity and inclusion, gender equality, human rights, decent work principles, and sustainable development goals into their organizational culture and operations.

Organizations currently participating in the 50-30 Challenge can visit the UN Global Compact Network of Canada website to sign up for these capacity-building workshops.

What is the 50-30 Challenge?

The goal of the 50-30 Challenge is to increase diverse representation in businesses, nonprofits, and institutions across Canada. Organizations can voluntarily sign up for the 50-30 Challenge and commit to meeting the following targets:

• 50% representation of women or gender non-binary individuals on boards and/or in senior management roles
• 30% representation of equity-deserving groups (racialized people, Indigenous Peoples, persons with a disability, and members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community) on boards and/or in senior management roles

The UN Global Compact Network Canada is an Ecosystem Partner supporting the 50-30 Challenge and providing assistance to organizations that have committed to meeting and maintaining the 50-30 Challenge targets.
