BME - Building Materials Europe

At the current pace, it will take until 2158 for the world to reach gender parity (World Economic Forum). International Women’s Day reminds us of the need to accelerate action. At BME, we are committed to building a world where everyone - regardless of gender, race, background, or interests - is valued equally. Not just because we should, but because we truly believe that diversity will make our business stronger, richer with perspectives, more creative and innovative. We asked our colleagues across Europe to share their thoughts on International Women’s Day and how we can all contribute. We are proud to work with such a talented and diverse team of nearly 12,000 employees! #InternationalWomensDay #AccelerateAction #TogetherWeBuild
