The goal of PAVE Europe’s gender equality policy is to actively encourage greater participation of women in PAVE Europe activities, ultimately striving for gender balance throughout the Association. The policy addresses various aspects related to the association’s operations and enjoys endorsement at the highest levels, from both the Secretariat and the Boards.
The Transport and Automotive sector has historically been shaped and run predominantly by men for men, often neglecting the specific needs of women. To rectify this, the sector requires more women across all roles. Emerging technologies, such as Autonomous Vehicles, hold the potential to transform mobility, and this transformation should actively involve women at every level and application. This aligns seamlessly with PAVE Europe’s mission to educate the general public and decision-makers on sustainable and efficient mobility through autonomous technology.
Numerous studies highlight the positive impact of having more women in leadership roles, demonstrating a correlation between gender parity and economic performance. Unfortunately, women remain underrepresented across the industry. PAVE Europe’s policy serves as a platform for women in the industry to showcase their talents, become role models, and raise awareness throughout the sector.
The policy’s formulation is backed by the support of the Board and the Association’s members, emphasizing a collective commitment to gender equality. Regular updates to the policy underscore PAVE Europe’s ongoing dedication to fostering an inclusive environment.
PAVE Europe is a not-for-profit Association dedicated to communicating and educating on the benefits of automated vehicle technologies and automated mobility.
