$5 million grant to support Catalyst’s “Men
Advocating Real Change” program
Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) today announced a $5 million
grant to Catalyst, a global nonprofit advancing workplace gender
equality, in support of expanding the organization’s Men Advocating
Real Change (MARC) program, which Chevron adopted in 2016. MARC is
focused on engaging and empowering male executives and leaders to
consistently model inclusive behaviors, influence more equitable
talent management systems and processes, and build effective
partnerships across gender.
“We are expanding our partnership with Catalyst to support an
initiative that is helping Chevron create a more gender-inclusive
workplace, and that we believe can benefit other companies around
the world,” said Michael Wirth, Chevron’s chairman and chief
executive officer and chair of the 2019 Catalyst Awards Dinner. “We
are honored to help accelerate this important work. This grant
proves once again the power of partnership – how with commitment
and dedication, real change is possible.”
“This is the single largest grant we’ve received in our
organization’s 50+ year history. Companies like Chevron and leaders
like Mike Wirth, who make diversity and inclusion a business
imperative and take real, tangible action, are leading by example,”
said Lorraine Hariton, President & CEO of Catalyst. “We are
excited to continue strengthening our partnership with Chevron, and
we challenge others to join Catalyst and Chevron in creating
inclusive workplaces that allow everyone to thrive.”
MARC engages men and women in deep, honest dialogue where men
gain insight, empathy, and personal motivation to take action to
improve gender equity in the workplace. The Chevron grant will
directly support the global expansion of MARC Leaders, Catalyst’s
transformational, immersive training program. It will also support
the rollout of MARC Teams to Catalyst Supporter companies across
the globe, creating a grassroots collective approach that helps men
apply their influence to affect positive change in the workplace
with respect to gender equality.
Chevron was an early champion and pioneer of the MARC Teams
strategy, recognizing the power it can have in building
self-awareness, fostering individual inclusion skills and
ultimately sustaining a culture of inclusion across the
organization. The Chevron grant will allow Catalyst to continue its
groundbreaking research, programming, products, and events aimed at
engaging men in gender equity and inclusion efforts. Chevron will
also serve as chair on the MARC Advisory Committee to help drive
strategic expansion of the MARC program and accelerate gender
inclusion in both its own workforce and in companies around the
globe.
