Objectway Joins the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles to Champion Gender Equality
Through the participation in the Women’s Empowerment Principles network, Objectway is contributing to a broader movement that will shape a more equitable, inclusive, and progressive future for all.
Milan, 28th March 2025 – Objectway is proud to announce its official commitment to the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), a global initiative spearheaded by UN Women and the UN Global Compact. By joining this influential movement, the company is reaffirming its dedication to advancing gender equality and furthering its efforts to build an inclusive, diverse, and equitable workplace.
Objectway fosters a culture that champions innovation, equality, and the transformative value of a diverse workforce, by having taken concrete steps to grow the community of women in fintech within the organisation. Over the years, this community has flourished, attracting exceptional and forward-thinking professionals; in fact, the company has steadily increased its percentage of women, both in its global organisation and in leadership roles, across all the regional hubs in which it operates, from Europe, to the UK and Canada.
This growth is a testament to our ongoing commitment to a future where leadership and opportunities are not constrained by gender. Diversity is not just a core value; it is integral to our identity and culture, fuelling our success and empowering us to create a meaningful impact both within our industry and society at large.

The Women’s Empowerment Principles consist of seven principles designed to guide businesses in advancing gender equality across the workplace, marketplace, and community. These principles provide a clear framework for creating lasting and positive change, and for activating internal stakeholders through industry-specific practices and recommendations.
Joining the WEPs network strengthens Objectway’s mission to ensure that all employees, regardless of gender, are valued, respected, and supported at every level of our organisation. As transparency and accountability are necessary for companies to uphold their commitment to gender equality, the company also commits to report on its progress in implementing the Women’s Empowerment Principles.
Diversity is the driving force behind innovation, excellence, and success. By embracing the Women’s Empowerment Principles, we are taking a stand for gender equality and reinforcing our role as enablers of change. These principles empower us to break down barriers, foster an inclusive culture, and champion the women who are redefining the financial services industry. Together, we are not just driving innovation — we are shaping a future where every voice is heard, valued, and empowered to lead.
