• About the Women in Governance, Risk and Compliance Awards

    The Women in Governance, Risk and Compliance (WGRC) Awards is dedicated to championing the leadership, influence, and achievements of women across the GRC sectors. Our mission is to provide a dynamic platform that not only recognises outstanding contributions but also amplifies the voices of women, inspiring and empowering the next generation of business leaders.

    Now entering its fourth edition in 2025, the WGRC Awards has evolved beyond a standalone event into a thriving, year-round community. We bring together women and their allies to collaborate, share insights, and drive meaningful change. Through a diverse range of content, networking opportunities, and mentorship initiatives, we support women at all stages of their careers, helping them grow, thrive, and break barriers in an ever-evolving business landscape.

    Despite progress, recent research highlights that women remain underrepresented in senior GRC roles. However, opportunities for female leadership are expanding, making it more critical than ever to champion gender diversity and inclusion in governance, risk, and compliance.

    The WGRC Awards is committed to fostering a supportive, engaged ecosystem, one that not only celebrates success but also drives forward the future of women in GRC.

    Join us in shaping a more equitable, inclusive, and progressive industry.
