We have also highlighted below some further information about the SEAF Case Study.

What is the SEAF GES©?

SEAF has developed a Gender Equality Scorecard©, or GES©, to assess women’s economic empowerment and gender equality within investment opportunities and companies within the SEAF portfolio.

The GES© is a measurement mechanism which seeks to demonstrate that SEAF portfolio companies can provide both appropriate financial returns and measurable impact, including in particular, women being economically empowered through investment and development activities.

Key Areas of Study

The SEAF GES© Case Study explores a number of areas of importance across the CloudCfo business, in particular:

• Pay Equity
• Workforce Participation
• Leadership and Governance
• Workplace Environment
• Benefits and Professional Development

Each of these areas are then included as part of the overall conclusions of the Case Study. You can explore further details about the SEAF GES© here – SEAF’s Gender Equality Scorecard©.
