Frequently asked questions

What makes the Catalyst CEO Champions For Change community different?

Meritocratic systems have long sought to reward talent and hard work. Yet opportunity gaps persist, threatening those meritocracies from functioning consistently and fairly. Catalyst has researched these gaps for decades and has seen how executive voices foster fairer and more inclusive workplaces.

Catalyst CEO Champions For Change was born on International Women’s Day in 2017 and brings together the world’s most powerful chief executives and their organizations from our global Catalyst supporter community. This group of CEOs are committed to reducing biases, ensuring fair pay, and closing talent gaps across the leadership pipeline. These organizations share data related to talent, inclusion, and pay equity trends with Catalyst through our Champion Insights research. Our anonymized approach is a key differentiator to other surveys and tracks, analyzes, and reports collective progress in closing gender gaps. Catalyst also provides opportunities for chief executives and others committed to leading-edge measurement strategies to convene, to amplify c-suite perspectives on the importance of inclusion, and to leverage Catalyst’s thought leadership and tangible solutions to accelerate change.
