AllBright Alliance Welcomes Industry Powerhouses?British Airways, Guggenheim Investments and Tapestry (Coach, Kate Spade, Stuart Weitzman)?as It Marks a Year of Substantial Growth and Gender Equity Impact

AllBright, the global platform dedicated to empowering women in business, proudly announces the expansion of its Alliance solution with the addition of key global partners: Guggenheim Investments, British Airways and Tapestry. The milestone comes one year after the programme's inception, highlighting a period of significant growth and impact in supporting gender equity across the world.

The new members join AllBright's existing corporate partners, including BNY Mellon, Bromford Housing, Chelsea Football Club, Eldridge Industries, Google, HSBC, Oliver Wyman, Simba Sleep, Smyle, Soho House and Visionable Health. With the addition of these new partners, AllBright Alliance now reaches over 750,000 employees across various sectors.

British Airways' Chief People, Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Officer, Lisa Tremble underscored the importance of developing female leaders stating, "At British Airways, we want to offer women the right support to grow their careers with us. It's exciting to partner with AllBright who offer a bespoke approach so that BA women have access to advice, learning opportunities and networks that help them thrive in their career."

The commitment to gender equity is echoed on both sides of the Atlantic. "We are thrilled to be partnering with AllBright, underscoring our significant commitment to strengthening gender equality in the workplace," said Dina DiLorenzo, Co-President of Guggenheim Investments. "The AllBright mission is clear: to empower women and to ensure that they have the right resources to navigate their career journey with confidence and determination. Together, we're not just leveling the playing field, we're creating a stronger, more inclusive, and ultimately more successful business environment for all."

Viviane Paxinos, CEO of AllBright, said, "Our research consistently shows that despite high ambitions, women encounter substantial barriers in advancing their careers. Our Future of Work survey revealed that over 40% of women are looking for a new role but more than 90% would stay longer at a business that invests in their career development. We are thrilled that so many businesses, including British Airways, Guggenheim Investments and Tapestry, selected AllBright to advance their gender equity goals and will be partnering with us to create equitable business environments where everyone can thrive, regardless of gender. We look forward to collaborating closely as we drive meaningful change together."

AllBright Alliance members benefit from tailored packages of data-driven resources aimed at better attracting, engaging and promoting top female talent. These include access to leadership development programmes, consultancy services, exclusive workshops, networking events and insights reports designed to promote business performance through the power of gender equity. In addition, members gain access to AllBright Virtual, an expansive online learning platform featuring over 170 courses, articles and workshops dedicated to women's career development.

Through its global Mentor Matching programme, AllBright Virtual also provides access to a diverse network of mentors and mentees, comprised of senior executives from FTSE100 companies.

Bromford Housing's Leadership and OD Manager Steph Foster said the programme had, "[helped] to create a talented pipeline of women ready to move into more senior leadership roles or subject matter expert roles. This helps us become a more sustainable organisation and further reduce our gender pay gap."
