Bridging the Equity Gap

Our business is driven by women – the majority of our customers, leaders, employees, and workers in our supply chain – and we make industry-leading investments to bridge the equity gap so they can reach their full potential. For more than a decade, we have led initiatives that embraced a collaborative approach to removing barriers and advance gender equity and women’s empowerment.

How we're bridging the equity gap

Equal Pay For Equal Work

Gap Inc. pays women and men — globally, dollar for dollar — equal pay for equal work. In 2014, Gap Inc. was the first Fortune 500 company to announce equal pay for equal work, with its methodology and data independently validated by a leading gender and diversity firm. Gap Inc. conducts annual internal pay equality reviews using this approved methodology.

Gap Inc. P.A.C.E. and RISE

Our Personal Advancement & Career Enhancement (P.A.C.E.) program was a collaboration with suppliers, industry partners and communities to empower women with the foundational life skills, technical training and support they need to advance at work and in life. We have taken our P.A.C.E. program and integrated it with our industry’s other leading programs focused on women’s empowerment through the creation of RISE.
