About the Parity Certification™

Proudly founded in Canada in 2017 with the support of McKinsey & Co., the Parity Certification™ is the only North American certification dedicated to gender parity, designed to address organizational challenges at an international level while remaining grounded in local realities.

It supports organizations seeking to increase the representation of women, particularly in historically male dominated sectors and leadership roles. Today, more than one million employees work in certified organizations, a clear testament to the tangible impact of this initiative.
