Strengthening its commitment to gender equality throughout its ecosystem,Evermos make collaboration with UN Women and W20

Evermos' commitment to gender equality is not promoted only for the resellers,but also throughout its ecosystem: internal employees,local brands,and other partners. This gender equality commitment was then strengthened by becoming a signatory to the Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs) of UN Women. Going the extra mile,Evermos then collaborates with W20,an engagement group of G20 that focuses on women's economic empowerment.

Together with W20,Evermos held a series of events called Story of Us,an exclusive dialogue between 60 women entrepreneurs. This series aims to encourage more women to realize and optimize their unlimited potential. Starting from expressing what they like through business,seasoned womenpreneurs shared their stories and how they can be consistent and beneficial for others. The Business Owner of Havilla Gourmet Tea,Neysa Valeria,shared in her story,"do things that make your heart sing. That is my principle in running a business consistently. If I wasn't a tea lover,I might have given up long ago during the ups and downs of building Havila."

"These efforts are still small compared to the pressing issue. We plan to improve it further. This award is an appreciation presented for all Evermos stakeholders: the internal team,brands,and especially resellers," said Iqbal.
