Inspiring inclusion in the Boardroom

To follow on this year's IWD campaign theme #InspireInclusion, Baker McKenzie’s BakerWomen Committee is pleased to host a panel discussion that hopes to continue to inspire inclusion, particularly for women in leadership roles and in the boardroom. While diversity in the boardroom is increasing globally, the number of female board members across Asia still lags behind other regions in growth. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange has made inroads by requiring issuers with single-gender boards to appoint a director of a different gender by the end of 2024, which we hope will inspire the increased inclusion of women in the boardroom.
