As a business, we are committed to improving the representation of women in management roles by building a pipeline of strong female talent across all areas of our organisation.

Since the appointment of our Chairman, Gordon Cairns, in September 2015, there has been a strong focus to drive diversity through increased female representation on our Board. Woolworths' Board now has an equal representation of women and men. Gordon Cairns is also a member of the Male Champions of Change, a group of CEOs and senior executives committed to achieving change on gender equality issues in organisations and communities.
