"EABL plans for 50:50 gender balance by 2025"

East African Breweries Limited has put strategies in place to achieve 50:50 gender balance by 2025. Kenya Breweries Managing Director Jane Karuku, who also sits in the board of East African Breweries Limited (EABL), said the listed company is pursuing gender diversity from the top. Currently, 37 per cent of the company’s board members and 38 per cent of the Group’s executives comprise of women, from an average of 20 per cent about a decade ago.

EABL recently appointed Ory Okolloh, a renowned leader in corporate and non-profit circles, as a non-executive director to the board. Ms Karuku said the move to achieve 50:50 gender balance by 2025 is to enable the creative agencies and production partners it works with to meet the same target.
