Joining Forces on International Women's Day 2023 to #EmbraceEquity

International Women’s Day (IWD) – celebrated annually on March 8 – is a global initiative that celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity in, among other places, the public and private sectors. 

This year’s global theme is #EmbraceEquity. Equity might look different for every organisation, depending on size and resources, which is why this year we are teaming up with three other foreign chambers of commerce in Japan to hear from cross-industry leaders of four very different backgrounds, on what it truly means to embrace equity within their organisations, and what processes they have in place to create the mindsets and practices needed to create an equitable workplace environment.

We are pleased to invite Natalia Sanz Laviña, CEO, YSLA Architects, Hiroko Suzuki, President & CEO, Kyowa Industrial Co., Junko Kubokawa, Representative Director and President, Croda Japan KK, and Anne-Line REY, Sales Project Director & Head of OSAKA EXPO 2025, GL events Japan KK to share their insights on the topic, acknowledging the work already being done in organisations and communities to respond to workplace inequities, and addressing what the key roles are for individuals, corporates and governments in pushing the agenda forward and taking the strides needed to truly advance gender equity in the future. 

Everyone is welcome!
Can men attend this event? YES! Now, more than ever, there’s a groundswell to normalise gender parity. It is incumbent upon us all to make sure that, working in tandem with member firms, we lead the charge towards a more inclusive workplace that will benefit men and women alike.
