Lila Group, a corporate member of LEAD Network, undertakes to increase the number of female employees by 5% by the year 2023. Lila Group is the first Turkish signatory of the ‘CEO Pledge’ implemented by Lead Network.

“Various researches have been conducted up until today on the contributions of women to the economy and the challenges encountered by the female employees in the business life. Unfortunately, the outcomes of the researches are far from being promising and pleasant. We are the country ranked at the bottom of the list of female employment with 34% among the OECD countries. As a group, we always adopt an attitude in favor of gender equality, and we shall continue to do so for the future. In this regard, we are ready to do our best to enhance and improve the contribution of our women to our economy and business world. In this sense, CEO Pledge is a substantive opportunity for us. I am glad and honored to announce that we pledge to increase the number of our female employees by 5% until the year 2023.” Alp Öğücü, CEO of Lila Group, commented.
