Research by various women empowerment groups and inclusive employing industries ahead of International Women’s Day 2022 have found that sustainable practices must be instituted for women to be better off. READ:
For instance, a report titled “Workplace Gender Equality-Sustainability Reporting: Initial Analysis of the Top 30 Publicly Listed Companies in the Philippines as of July 2021” was able to get companies to disclose their policies on board diversity, safe and respectful workplaces, employee training and development, and gender pay equity.
PBCWE is one of the partners engaged in policy reform work for gender equality, along with the Philippine Women’s Economic Network ,the Australian initiative Investing in Women , and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women . “One of the challenges that we found companies faced is in finding the right balance of what gender-related information they are to disclose based on existing regulatory requirements, or if they’re adopting to globally accepted standards or business principles,” he explained at the policy forum.
“While we do so well in education and health, we’re not doing so well in economy and politics,” she said at the forum. “If the sector is mostly dominated by men, then we have men deciding and creating policies that also impact women. That’s why it is important to have more representation of women in terms of policymaking.”
“But one issue we’ve been facing is that it was issued back in 2019. We are a little wary on the effect that COVID has had on the resources of PLCs,” he said. “[2023] is still the goal but we are studying the possibility of moving it a little bit.”
