Each year HSBC celebrates International Women’s Day, as we promote inclusion, regardless of gender, for our employees and customers. In recent years, I have been glad to see the number of women in leadership positions grow thanks to improved recruiting and promotion practices, and more flexible workplace policies. Globally, HSBC is reaching 35% female representation in senior roles, and progress is faster in some of our local markets, including Hong Kong and mainland China. This has coincided with an inspiring transformation of our business. There is unquestionably much work still to be done, both inside companies and within our societies, to educate and to change attitudes. But one lesson from the history of “Asian Tiger” economies is clear: removing barriers to female professional participation and advancement unleashes dynamism and drives growth. Investing in women is the right thing to do, and the smart thing to do, and HSBC will keep investing. #HSBC #InternationalWomenDay #IWD2024 #InvestInWomen Luanne Lim, Christina Ma, Amanda Murphy, Astor Law, Susan Sayers, Jessica Lee, Kai Zhang, Darren Furnarello (ICA), David Grimme, David Gareth Thomas, Greg Hingston, Hitendra Dave, Kee Joo Wong, Mark Wang, Martin Haythorne, Matthew Ginsburg, Ming L., Monish Tahilramani Omar Siddiq, Paul Stafford, Philip Fellowes, Surendra Rosha, Bonnie Qiu 邱怡静, Jai Pawani
