Case Studies - Pathways Forward

Pledge in Practice

Real organisations. Real actions. Real impact.

Pledge in Practice is our case study series, shining a light on the organisations across our community who are turning their commitments into concrete, lasting change for female founders. Each story is different. The actions vary. But the thread running through all of them is the same — that small, deliberate steps, taken consistently and collectively, build towards something much bigger.

We are delighted to showcase RBS in the first of our Pathways Pledge case studies. The evolution of She Scales is a perfect example of what happens when commitment becomes action — what started as an additive Pledge activity to the Bank’s Accelerator programme has proven so successful that it is now being rolled out across the UK.

The Pathways Pledge is built on a simple but powerful belief: that when organisations commit to taking action — and are held accountable for doing so — things change. Not gradually. Measurably.
