The theme of International Women's Day #IWD2024 is 'Inspire Inclusion' and we would like to explore the experiences and perceptions of men and women from across the SAPICS network as they relate to advancing gender inclusion in supply chain.

There is limited data available on this topic in the field of Supply Chain, particularly across Africa and your responses will help us develop insights and build on the SAPICS survey information from 2023.

We will share some of the survey insights at the 'Women in Supply Chain Leadership' Panel discussion at the SAPICS Conference, please do join us at this session!

We are looking forward to seeing you at the upcoming SAPICS conference in June 2024!

Thank you for taking the time to contribute to accelerating the progress of gender inclusion in supply chain.

Your responses are anonymous, and we will not ask for any personal or company /organisation names.
