Capital Bank Joins UN Women’s Empowerment Principles to Advance Diversity and Gender Equality in the Workplace
Capital Bank has announced its endorsement of the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), established by UN Women and the UN Global Compact, reaffirming its strong commitment to gender equality and the empowerment of women across the workplace, marketplace, and community.
The signing, carried out in collaboration with UN Women and the UN Global Compact, aligns with the Bank’s vision to create a fair and inclusive work environment that offers women equal opportunities to take on leadership roles and participate in decision-making processes that drive social progress and support a more inclusive, sustainable economy in Jordan.
Tamer Ghazaleh, CEO of Capital Bank, emphasized that this step reflects the Bank’s core values, stating, “We take pride in the presence of women across all levels of our organization, from entry-level positions to executive leadership and the Board of Directors. For us, equality is not just a principle; it is a true driver of excellence, innovation, and adaptability. By adopting the Women’s Empowerment Principles, we aim to strengthen diversity and inclusion, with a focus on advancing women’s representation and developing policies and opportunities that empower everyone to shape the future of the banking sector and contribute to a stronger, more sustainable Jordanian economy.”
Ghazaleh added that joining this global initiative reaffirms the Bank’s belief that empowering women is not merely a social responsibility but a strategic investment in the future of the institution, the national economy, and society as a whole.
The Women’s Empowerment Principles are built around seven core pillars: leadership that promotes gender equality, a workplace free from discrimination, health and safety for all, education and training for women, fair business and supply chain practices, community advocacy for equality, and regular measurement and transparent reporting.
With this step, Capital Bank joins over 5,000 organizations worldwide, including more than 50 companies in Jordan, that are committed to the WEPs and to advancing the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, reaffirming its leadership in fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion as a foundation for institutional success.
