Reset the Table is a Common Ground Initiative Championed by The Food Group (TFG). Common Ground was created to support a Sustainable Development Goals Program. Of the seventeen goals, Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) is all about ensuring gender equality and empowering women and girls everywhere. Each WPP agency is working on a gender equality related cause that is meaningful to them—all with a common goal of eliminating gender inequality by 2030. As a WPP agency that specializes in food and drink, The Food Group immediately recognized the opportunity to address gender equality within the foodservice industry.
“We want to help women overcome common challenges so that they can focus on what’s important. The impact of gender equality spans many issues from industry advancement due to financing and opportunity, to healthcare and paid parental leave,” said Mark Cotter, CEO, The Food Group. “We’ve identified like-minded organizations to help us create an industry resource we hope will empower women to take risks and further their careers. As an industry, we need to work together to facilitate real change and support females throughout foodservice.”

About Common Ground
Common Ground was created to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) is all about ensuring gender equality and empowering women and girls everywhere. A part of the UN Women's campaign, Planet 50-50 By 2030 Step it Up for Gender Equality, contains targets to ensure gender equality becomes a reality. The targets include ending all forms of violence and harmful practices against women, universal reproductive health and rights, optimizing women's leadership opportunities, reforms to give women equal rights to economic resources, recognizing unpaid work and protecting women during times of crisis.
The Common Ground initiative recognizes that the global issues the UN has identified transcend commercial rivalry. By working in partnership to support the Sustainable Development Goals, companies known to be competitors, have put aside their differences in order to serve a wider common interest. The CEOs of six holding companies all pledged to support the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Over the next few years, each has dedicated to help tackle one area both within their own organizations and through client work. Havas has taken climate change, IPG safe water, Publicis has committed to food, Dentsu health, Omnicom education and WPP will take on gender equality
