So, I’ll be serving as a judge for this year’s Standard Bank Top Women™️ Awards 🤩. The category we are sponsoring at RS South Africa is Top Women Business in Construction, Infrastructure, Resources & Mining 2024. This category holds special significance, as it aligns with our commitment to celebrating women who are making a lasting impact in industries critical to the development of society. These awards not only highlight individual achievements but also underscore the progress we are making towards gender equity and sustainability in leadership. As a Millennial, I’m particularly inspired by the values driving my generation’s approach to work, leadership, and consumption. Fast fashion and mass production may still dominate our shops and clothing stores, but more of us are steering our decisions towards companies that reflect our values. This movement is transforming how we think about both consumption and the future of the industries that shape our world. This shift isn’t just a fleeting trend. It has real implications for our planet, society, and the industrial sectors we serve. Millennials are blending their values with their choices—whether in investments, careers, or purchasing decisions. We are showing that profitability and purpose can indeed go hand in hand. As a judge for the Standard Bank Top Women Awards, I’m excited to see how women leaders in sectors like construction, infrastructure, and mining are breaking barriers and transforming traditionally male-dominated industries. At RS, we are committed to promoting ethical leadership and driving sustainability in every aspect of what we do. Our sponsorship of this category reflects our belief that investing in women who are reshaping industries is key to building a better future. I look forward to collaborating with my fellow judges and celebrating the achievements of these trailblazing women who are leading the way towards a more inclusive and sustainable world. Together, we are shaping the future of business—one that aligns with the values that matter most to us.
