Ambition and compassion: extraordinary female leaders who inspire

Europcar is proud to have sponsored the Europcar Women in Leadership Award for the past 10 years. As a women-founded organisation, we are committed to empowering women, celebrating their achievements, sharing their stories, and inspiring future leaders. 

The Europcar Women in Leadership Award honours women who stand out for their vision, innovation, ingenuity, tenacity, moral compass, and resolve. We recognise their leadership in business performance, inclusivity, ethics, and sustainability. 

The nominees are women in business, corporate social investment (CSI), leadership, and entrepreneurship who have consistently demonstrated resilience, creativity, and a commitment to making a difference. In CSI, these women combine ambition with compassion. They identify societal needs and craft impactful initiatives that uplift communities and empower the vulnerable, they are pioneers, breaking barriers and opening doors for those who follow. Their courage, perseverance, and mentorship inspire others. 

We congratulate all the nominees in this category, you are all an inspiration.
