Gender Lens Investing

Gender Lens Investing (GLI) refers to the practice of directing capital towards companies, funds, or projects that prioritize gender equality and support women’s empowerment. This investment strategy considers how gender impacts financial performance and social outcomes. For example, it may focus on companies with strong female leadership, equitable workplace policies, or products that address women's needs. By incorporating gender analysis into investment decisions, GLI aims to generate positive social change while also achieving competitive financial returns, recognizing that fostering gender equality can lead to more sustainable economic growth.
