Amorepacific Declares Support for UN Women’s Empowerment Principles

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Amorepacific has officially declared its support for the United Nations' Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) as part of its efforts toward a gender-equal society.

WEPs is an initiative jointly launched in 2010 by the UN Global Compact (UNGC) and UN Women as part of the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goal SDG5 (Gender Equality).

Based on seven principles (leadership, equal opportunity, inclusion and elimination of discrimination, health, safety and freedom from violence, education and training, business development, supply chain and marketing activities, community leadership and participation, transparency, measurement and disclosure), it provides guidelines and implementation measures for gender equality to companies and organizations. Approximately 2,750 CEOs worldwide support these principles.

Earlier in April, Amorepacific collaborated with the UN Global Compact Korea Network to support the domestic corporate gender equality support online platform, ‘Gender Equality Korea’ website.

Gender Equality Korea is an online platform developed to help Korean companies and organizations establish gender equality policies aligned with domestic and international standards, and to plan practical activities for enhancing women’s representation and empowerment.

An Amorepacific representative stated, “To support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are global targets to be achieved by 2030, we will fulfill our role as a global corporate citizen and continue efforts to create an organizational culture that cares for everyone regardless of gender and to build a ‘great place to work.’”
