Aequales | Council for Inclusive Capitalism

Aequales is a gender equality and diversity consultancy firm based in Latin America. We have won several entrepreneurship prizes (Ventures 2014, PUCP 2015, In-Pactamos 2016, UN ODS, StartUP Peru, MIT Innovation Challenge) and are currently a stable growing business. We created PAR, the first Corporate Gender Equality Ranking, a one-of-its-kind measurement tool that promotes gender equality conditions in corporations. We deliver data for the creation of evidence-based public-policy for gender equality through our public sector and academia allies, as well as free reports for all corporations measuring themselves yearly. We have measured over 2000 corporations in Latin America. We created Comunidad PAR, a community of corporations that promote gender equality in our countries, committed with measuring and increasing gender equality indicators and sharing good practices.

Aequales was chosen as one of the 101 ideas that are changing the world of work today according to the BBC.

Purpose

Our services allow organizations to develop safe and inclusive workspaces that promote productivity, by involving diversity as a transversal axis in strategic processes and, in turn, increasing the loyalty of work teams. From our understanding there are deep inequalities in Latin America, which must be addressed through awareness, practices, actions, and persistence. Aequales Latin America provides training, consultancy, certification, and workforce community development. Our annual PAR ranking is a free annual, comparative, and confidential measurement of policies and processes that measures the status of your organization's policies and processes of gender equality and corporate diversity.

We believe it is vital to state clearly to the world the set of our beliefs about Inclusive Capitalism. As such, we start with our Statement of Guiding Principles for Inclusive Capitalism. Knowing that words alone are not enough, each of us is making a series of commitments about how we will operate our institutions so that they help achieve Inclusive Capitalism. These commitments are forward-looking statements based on current goals, expectations and assumptions, which are not guarantees of future performance.
