Indicates whether the organization has an initiative in place to advance women in their workforce.
Organizations should footnote all assumptions used.
This metric is intended to capture whether or not the organization specifically works to advance women’s careers. To report against 2X Challenge requirements, organizations must report this metric in combination with one or more of the following metrics that detail which initiatives are in place: Diverse Representation Policy (OI9485), Flexible Work Arrangements (OI7983), Sexual Harassment Policy (OI9088), Employment Benefits (OI2742), Fair Compensation Policy (OI3819), Fair Career Advancement Policy (OI4884), or Anti-Discrimination Policy (OI9331). To qualify under the 2X criteria, additional metric(s) must have specific benefits for women and must exceed compliance with local regulations and standards in the local context.
Metrics identified as "cross-category" are those that are relevant to any IRIS+ Impact Category or Impact Theme (i.e., these metrics are not specific to any particular industry/category or theme).

IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
