SEAI Interim Gender Equality Plan

The SEAI Gender Equality Plan is a set of our commitments and actions that aim to promote gender equality in our organisation through a process of structural change. The objectives of a GEP are to address an organisation’s policies and procedures, and also to consider how to evolve espoused values i.e., what people say they believe and any underlying assumptions (e.g., unconscious beliefs, thoughts, and feelings).
