P&G Pakistan Honored as Champion for Gender Equality by OICCI

P&G Pakistan has been recognized by the Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OICCI) as a ‘champion’ at its 7th Annual Women Empowerment Awards. The company was also inducted into the OICCI Hall of Fame in recognition of its ongoing commitment to gender equity and fostering an inclusive work environment.

Ovais Yousuf, Vice President and CEO of P&G Pakistan, welcomed the dual honor as a testament to the company’s strong dedication to creating equal opportunities for all employees. He highlighted that women make up more than half of the senior leadership team at P&G Pakistan, underscoring the company’s focus on empowering women at every level.

The OICCI Women Empowerment Awards celebrate organizations that actively promote workplace diversity and inclusiveness. P&G Pakistan’s efforts are driven by its #WeSeeEqual initiative, which aims to ensure fairness in hiring, career development, and representation across the organization. This initiative is backed by progressive policies and ongoing training programs designed to support an inclusive culture.

M Abdul Aleem, Secretary General of OICCI, congratulated P&G Pakistan for setting a benchmark in gender equality and fostering a workplace where women can thrive alongside men. He praised the company for its leadership in championing diversity and inclusion in Pakistan’s corporate sector.

Beyond internal workplace initiatives, P&G Pakistan extends its commitment to empowerment through partnerships with key organizations. It collaborates with HOPE and Akhuwat to uplift women and girls by providing educational opportunities and access to microfinance, helping them achieve financial independence and personal growth.

In addition, P&G Pakistan works with STEMconnector and the National Organization of the Welfare of Persons with Disabilities (NOWPDP) to promote inclusion within STEM fields and improve opportunities for persons with disabilities. These partnerships reflect P&G’s broader vision of building a diverse and equitable society by supporting underrepresented groups both inside and outside the company.

The recognition by OICCI highlights P&G Pakistan’s consistent efforts in nurturing a culture where everyone can succeed regardless of gender or ability. The company’s focus on creating equal opportunities, combined with targeted community initiatives, makes it a true leader in workplace diversity and social responsibility in Pakistan.

With women holding a strong presence in leadership roles and inclusive programs driving change across the organization, P&G Pakistan continues to pave the way for a future where equality is not just an ambition but a reality.
