The 2026 Gender Representation Report, powered by Meat Business Women

Gender Representation in Global Food and Meat Manufacturing

Meat Business Women are currently creating the third edition of the Global Gender Representation Report — the definitive global study tracking gender balance across the meat and food manufacturing industries. Thank you to all organisations & individuals who submitted data.

The 2026 edition will be our most comprehensive yet, expanding beyond meat to the global food manufacturing sector. It tracks progress since 2020 and highlights the actions driving toward the Food Business Charter’s goal of 40% female representation by 2035.

The full report is set to launch in May 2026. If you'd like to receive a copy of the report, sign up to our newsletter here or contact the team for further information.
