We continue to devise and implement targeted and tailored strategies that will deliver on our goal of an equality of opportunity, aspiration and experience. We are proud to be a majority women firm but we know we must work to ensure that this is reflected at all levels of our business.
As part of our 2024 International Women's Day celebrations, we hosted a panel discussion covering "Women in Tech: Designing the Future of Fair Inclusive AI". Leading female pioneers at the intersection of technology and artificial intelligence shared their personal experiences, discussed the importance of building responsible algorithms, and emphasised the need for diverse voices in shaping the future of AI.
Our Capital Markets team has advised on Impact Investment Exchange (IIX) Women's Livelihood Bond™ (WLB) 6, which marks the world's largest orange bond. Not only has it brought about meaningful change in the lives of women and girls in the Global South, it has also transformed the landscape of impact investing.
Proceeds from WLB6 will be used to promote the growth of women-focused businesses, sustainable livelihoods, peace, prosperity, and the planet.

Our allies network consists of a group of male lawyers and business professionals sign up to work actively with Accelerate>>> to help to achieve gender parity and to share how men can get involved with events, share best practice and provide allyship to drive gender equity.
We are proud to mark International Women's Day as part of our annual campaign as we believe gender parity is good for our people, good for our clients, and a key part of Clifford Chance's success.
