"WGC Member companies and gender diversity within the workforce\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe above numbers demonstrate a commitment from our members to understand and monitor gender diversity within their workforces. Mining has historically seen an under-representation of women – and this continues to be the case today. However, there are many initiatives underway to support greater access to the mining industry for historically under-represented groups, with companies recognising the merits of employing a diverse workforce and creating greater opportunities for women.\n\nThe WGC collects and reports on this data on a regular basis. As noted above, it also seeks to highlight and promote further good practice and positive impacts. See, for example, Gold and gold mining’s contribution to SDG 5"
