The Champions of Change Coalition is a globally recognised strategy for advancing gender equality, by promoting more women into leadership positions and building respectful, inclusive workplaces. In the strategy, men and women leaders step up alongside one another. The Property Council was instrumental in establishing the Champions of Change Property Group in 2015, and today it includes 30 members who lead more than 26,000 employees.
The primary objective of the coalition is to achieve a significant and sustainable increase in the number of women in senior leadership positions across the property industry.
The group includes senior leaders from the industry’s development and construction, investment, funds management and agency sectors. They form a high-profile Coalition to lead and be accountable for change on gender equality issues in their organisations and communities – be they local, national or global.
The property group also aims to help address community and social issues, including domestic and family violence, by leveraging its industry footprint, and engaging employees.
