To infinity and beyond – your invitation to the gender parity moonshot

There is no gender parity in air cargo – fact.

There are plenty of brilliant women in all parts of the air cargo chain – fact.

Women are underrepresented at Board level, and not only in air cargo, of course – fact.

Why does it matter? How do we change it? And what is the point?

It matters because we must build an ethical, successful, healthy future, not only for air cargo, of course, but for us all – a sustainable people, planet, profit future.

We change it by taking individual as well as collective responsibility. Yes, that means you, all of you.

Together with Change Horizon, Meantime has stepped up to launch a new initiative, the Women in Aviation and Logistics movement, which starts with asking you to sign a pledge to help.

We are also working on a database of women who are subject experts willing to join speaking panels at the many industry events and would like to be considered for positions at Board level.

The focus here is for us to deliver tangible and measurable results and benchmarks that will accelerate change.

We are inviting everyone to join us, and, following on from feedback at our first webinar this week, to be clear, that means men as well as women.

We have been happy to launch the project, but we are calling on you to take the mission on and see what you can add.

Use it as an excuse to start a conversation in your company. Make some noise on social media about it. Mentor someone. Bring another idea to the table.

What is the point?

If the last twelve months have taught us anything, surely, it is that we are better together, not only better, but stronger. Better people, better in our work/life balance, stronger and better businesses.

Let’s make sure this one small step for womankind turns into a giant leap for all of us.
