Filozofia zrównoważonego rozwoju: Zrozumienie znaczenia równości płci w zarządzaniu organizacjami biznesowymi

Języki publikacji

Abstrakty

Sustainable development is a significant concern for practitioners, researchers, and activists. Literature on this area has shown that gender inequality is one of the biggest hurdles in the process of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Business leaders, policymakers, politicians, practitioners, and researchers from all fields should understand the significance of gender equality, without which it is impossible to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. The UN gives a call to countries and individuals to make some effort to achieve gender equality. It directly refers to the target of SDG5 and indirectly the other dimensions, including poverty, girl-child education, economy, child death ratios, forced marriage, violence against women, etc. Gender equality is an axiological appraisal to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. For that, this paper tries to determine the necessity of gender equality in achieving Sustainable Development Goals. It mainly focuses on two objectives first one is the necessity of gender equality, and the second one is the role of business organizations in achieving gender equality.

Zrównoważony rozwój jest głównym przedmiotem zainteresowania praktyków, badaczy i aktywistów. Literatura dotycząca tego obszaru pokazuje, że nierówność płci jest jedną z największych przeszkód w procesie realizacji Celów zrównoważonego rozwoju (SDG). Liderzy biznesowi, decydenci, politycy, praktycy i badacze ze wszystkich dziedzin powinni zrozumieć znaczenie równości płci, bez której niemożliwe jest osiągnięcie celów zrównoważonego rozwoju. ONZ apeluje do krajów i jednostek o podjęcie pewnych wysiłków na rzecz osiągnięcia równości płci. Odnosi się to bezpośrednio w cel SDG5, a pośrednio w inne cele, w tym ubóstwo, edukację dziewcząt, gospodarkę, wskaźniki śmiertelności dzieci, przymusowe małżeństwa, przemoc wobec kobiet itp. Równość płci jest aksjologiczną oceną osiągania celów zrównoważonego rozwoju. Niniejszy artykuł próbuje określić konieczność równouprawnienia płci w osiąganiu celów zrównoważonego rozwoju. Skupia się głównie na dwóch celach, z których pierwszy to konieczność równości płci, a drugi to rola organizacji biznesowych w osiąganiu równości płci.
