To support the launch of Elsevier's groundbreaking report Gender in the Global Research Landscape, it has created a resource center as a source of information for researchers, research leaders, policymakers and anyone else interested in gender diversity and its impact on science and society. Through this work, Elsevier is committed to SDG 5 to advance gender equality.
The Women's Empowerment Principles Gap Analysis Tool (WEPs Tool) helps companies benchmark their performance against the 7 WEPs Principles. It helps companies discover their contributions to improve gender equality and identifies areas that need improvement. This tool directly helps to advance SDG 5. The WEPS, a joint initiative of UN Global Compact and UN Women, were developed in 2010 to provide a holistic framework to empower women and girls in the workplace, marketplace, and community.
