• The 11 regional winners will be part of the recently created ’CaixaBank Women in Business Community’ on LinkedIn, in which businesswomen can share ideas and knowledge with the winners of previous editions, and access the bank’s exclusive experiences.
• The CaixaBank Women in Business Award, now in its fourth edition, is part of the institution’s Wengage programme, which develops and promotes the value of diversity. The institution currently has a representation of 41.3% women in management positions, and 40% on its Board of Directors, among the highest levels in the sector.
CaixaBank has shortlisted the 11 regional winners who will go on to the national stage of the CaixaBank Women in Business Award 2020, which recognises talent and professional excellence among businesswomen in Spain, who stand out due to their careers, strategic vision, capacity of innovation and transformational leadership; and promotes networking between worldwide business leaders.
The award, now in its fourth edition, has consolidated itself over the last few years as a driver of diversity and because of its contribution to promoting gender equality across Spanish society.
Following the regional phase, a jury formed of the CaixaBank Diversity Committee, formed of members of the steering committee and various diversity project leaders, will select the national winner from the 11 regional winners. The winner will be one of the Spanish representatives at the 2020 IWEC Awards granted by the International Women’s Entrepreneurial Challenge, the global network of leading businesswomen from all over the world who cooperate internationally to help create and distribute entrepreneurial wealth. The awards will be given out as part of the IWEC Annual Conference, which in 2020 will be held virtually on 9 and 10 November.
