BackgroundOne
of the Sustainable Development Goals is sustainable development, and the
private sector has a critical role in this endeavour.  Corporate sustainability – defined as ‘the
delivery of long-term value in economic, social and environmental terms’ – is
the most important contribution that business can provide to sustainable
development. It
is widely accepted that women’s empowerment yields strong economic returns and
may be the most critical enabler to achieving a wide range of sustainable development
and other objectives. Representing 49.5% of world population, women represent
untapped potential resources for accelerating the economic growth.  They are underrepresented in many sectors,
including in employment and business opportunities.  It has been reported that the global
workforce participation rate of women still averages 50% of the population and
the trend is declining over the years for age 15 to 24 years, which is likely
linked to expanding educational opportunities at the secondary and tertiary
levels.Business, along with other actors, has
a key role to play in advancing gender equality across the workplace,
marketplace and community. The Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), a joint
initiative of UN Women and the UN Global Compact, are a set of seven principles
offering concrete steps for business based on good business practices from
around the world. They offer a clear, coherent and attainable vision of the
contribution that business can and must make towards gender equality in order
to achieve sustainable business and contribute to sustainable development.  Why
Indonesia?Indonesia is a member of the G-20 major
economies and its economy is the largest in Southeast Asia. Approximately 52% of
the population lives in rural areas.  Although
challenges remain in terms of efficiency and outreach, over the years,
Indonesia has improved some key areas related to gender inequality, such as
health and education, opportunities, voice and agency, and stipulating the
necessary legislation for gender mainstreaming. According to World Bank’ data, female
labour force participation in the formal market was 49% in 2015, while male
participation reached 83%.  Although
Indonesia has achieved good economic growth (averaged 5.35% from 2000 until
2016), to maintain this growth and take more of its people out of poverty,
Indonesia must increase workforce participation. About
