Gender diversity continues to top of mind for many of today's supply chains.

In fact, women only occupy 21% of supply chain’s VP and senior director-level positions, a dip from 2021, according to a Gartner report. That's because mid-career women are leaving organizations due to lack of advancement opportunities.

What's more, the fastest-climbing reason is that women are seeking greater or more competitive compensation. In fact, this jumped dramatically from 24% in 2021 to 43% today.

The Gartner report also reveals another 85% of supply chain organizations are implementing initiatives focused on gender diversity recruitment, while 91% are deploying employee engagement initiatives.

While the supply chain industry is excelling at incorporating more women in the supply chain, there's still more work to be done. That's why four years ago, Supply & Demand Chain Executive launched the Women in Supply Chain award, to honor these female supply chain leaders and executives whose accomplishments, mentorship and examples continue to set a foundation for women in all levels of a company’s supply chain network.   

NEW THIS YEAR, this award is now ALSO open to Food Logistics' readers as well, so that female leaders across all supply chains, including the cold food chain, can be honored, recognized and celebrated for their achievements in the supply chain and logistics space.
