Our Commitment

Community Business has been committed to promoting gender equality since it was founded in 2003. While we are impressed by progress made over the years, we know that much still needs to be done in order for gender parity to be achieved across Asia – both in the workplace and wider society. Women across the region face very specific challenges, with social and cultural pressures as well as discrimination very much still at play.  

By promoting the business case for gender inclusion – across all levels of an organisation – as well as helping to educate on the nuanced experiences and challenges that women in the workplace face, we hope we can spark change and encourage more organisations to embrace gender equality and inclusion.
