Crocs, Inc. continued to walk the talk, hosting a special edition series
of the internal Let’s Talk Purpose sessions this past March. Michelle
Milford Morse, the global Vice President for Girls and Women Strategy at
the United Nations Foundation (UNF) joined the session in honor of
International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month.
The session brought together team members from across the organization to
learn more about the state of women’s equality globally and in workplaces.
With her spirit of unapologetic optimism, Michelle discussed the UNF’s
#EqualEverywhere campaign. Designed to build, nurture and mobilize
communities of support for girls and women across and between countries,
sectors and issues, the #EqualEverywhere campaign is the UNF’s signature
gender equality campaign. Since its launch in 2020, it has reached
hundreds of millions of people in more than 100 countries.
Through the UNF’s #EqualEverywhere campaign, Crocs, Inc. has worked with
the nonprofit foundation to support changemakers who push for girls and
women to be equal everywhere, every day. We recognize that nearly
two-thirds of our global workforce identify as women, and for the second
year, we encouraged our online community to take a #GenderEquality pledge
to stand with girls and women.
Michelle specifically spoke about the opportunities for breaking down
gender discrimination and inequality. With a message grounded in hope and
potential, the conversation centered on a key question: “If they were
equal everywhere and every day, what could girls and women achieve?”
In response, Heidi Cooley, Crocs SVP, Chief Marketing Officer, said, “If
girls and women were equal everywhere and every day, they could make
incredible impact as leaders, creators and innovators to boldly shape the
world.”
Others agreed—including Kelly Cortina, SVP Chief Product and Merchandising
Officer at HEYDUDE, who said, “If they were equal everywhere and every
day, girls and women could fully express themselves through their style,
creativity, art, careers and hearts to make the world a better place.”
