In March 2024, S&P Global Pakistan marked ‘Women’s History Month,’ echoing the theme of the United Nations’ International Women’s Day for 2024, “Invest in Women, Accelerate Progress.”

To motivate its employees, S&P Global Pakistan organized motivational talks featuring prominent female leaders through its People Resource Group WINS. These talks offered firsthand accounts of the obstacles and triumphs experienced by women in professional settings, aimed at guiding women newly entering the workforce.

Moreover, S&P Global hosted a ‘Resume Building and Networking’ workshop designed to provide women with the necessary tools to create effective resumes and navigate networking platforms for career advancement.

During Women’s History Month, S&P Global engaged in several endeavors in partnership with its People Resource Group WINS (Women’s Initiative for Networking & Success) to elevate women’s voices, support their professional growth, and address gender equality challenges.

Samia Qamar, Director of People at S&P Global Pakistan, pointed out the company’s efforts in female empowerment, stating, “Our goal is to offer a platform where women can freely express their perspectives and seek their rightful place, paving the way for success in a landscape filled with opportunities that aren’t always accessible to everyone equally.
