Caroline Thomaes
“This award is a true recognition of the work we are doing at P&G Belgium. It is not perfect yet and I will continue trying to be a role model every day as the small behaviors are what makes our culture! Gender Equality requires constant attention as unconscious biases are in our DNA. As a company we are committed to spark conversations and help change mentalities with our brands and advertisement as a force for good, also in Belgium.”

“I am extremely proud to be part of P&G and receive this award recognizing our effort and progress on the journey to gender equality. Gender Equality is important to me and important within our global P&G Engineering organization to generate both superior results and a better workplace. I am also very humbled to see the great work that others are doing in this area. This makes me confident that we can all #See Equal and make it possible to be in a world that truly treats gender equally – not just at work, but outside of it as well!”

Pascale Van Damme

VP & Managing Director Dell EMC Belux


We have been talking about gender equality for some years now, it is no longer a new topic. Let’s be cautious of “gender fatigue” – we have made progress but it is far too slow: the World "Economic Forum now estimates that gender parity may be over 170 years away, whereas In 2014 it was 80 years... I believe in diversity in gender, culture, and age in my own organisation, but just as much in our education, government institutions, and society as a whole. Action starts with leading by example and by creating an environment where all employees can be authentic and feel at home."
