The participation of women in leadership positions is not only a question of equality, but also a fundamental strategy for the success of organizations. According to the World Economic Forum, women occupy 37% of leadership positions worldwide, a figure that shows progress but is still far from ideal. Studies, such as the Conference Board’s, reinforce the importance of this inclusion: companies with at least 30% of women in leadership positions are 12 times more likely to be among the top 20% in financial performance. 

However, progress is still slow. According to Grant Thornton, if the current pace continues, gender parity will not be achieved until 2053. This demonstrates the need for more decisive action to accelerate the inclusion of women in leadership positions and ensure a more representative balance in the corporate world.  

In Brazil, the data points to a mixed reality. According to the study Business Women: Pathways to Equity, 37% of leadership positions in the country are held by women, which places Brazil in 10th place out of 28 countries.

However, in the logistics sector, women represent less than 20% of the workforce and occupy less than 10% of executive leadership positions, showing that there are still major challenges to overcome in order to achieve equity. 

The presence of women in leadership positions contributes to more balanced decisions, more collaborative working environments and more innovative practices. Companies that invest in gender diversity are more likely to attract talent, strengthen their reputation and achieve better financial results.  

However, the challenges for female inclusion are still significant. The path to parity requires the active involvement of leaders, clear policies and the creation of spaces that promote the advancement of women in organizations.  

At FINK, female leadership is a strategic differentiator that strengthens the organizational culture and drives results. Most of the company’s leadership positions are held by women, reinforcing its commitment to gender equality. This stance not only promotes a more diverse and inclusive environment, but also contributes to strengthening innovative and collaborative practices, which are essential for the sector. 

With women leading all levels of the company, the organization demonstrates that diversity drives innovation, growth and sustainability, reinforcing the importance of accelerating female inclusion in the corporate world to create a fairer, more balanced and competitive business environment.
