A series of events were successfully held across our local offices in different markets to make celebration a truly diverse and meaningful cause. We engaged our staff, both men and women, to share their appreciation and experiences in supporting their female colleagues, friends, and family members.

The Group coordinated a webinar on the 2023 theme of IWD, #BreakTheBias as part of as part of the Learning Bites series, inviting Ms. Corinna Lim to deliver a speech on “The Future of Work is Gender Equal”. Ms. Lim is the Executive Director of the Association of Women for Action and Research (“AWARE”), which is the Singapore’s leading gender equality group.
