Gender Equality in Japan, Hong Kong & Singapore

Assessing 100 leading companies on workplace equality

By Equileap


March 22, 2019
Achieving gender equality enables companies to benefit from the ‘Gender Dividend’ – the above-trend returns and lower risks that research shows gender-diverse companies tend to realize – and it enables countries with elevated levels of workplace gender equality to grow at an accelerated rate.

Equileap is a leading organization with a mission to accelerate progress towards gender equality in the workplace by providing quality data and insights to investors, companies, and governments. They research and rank over 3,000 public companies around the world using a unique and comprehensive Gender Equality Scorecard™ with 19 criteria, including the gender balance of the workforce, senior management and board of directors, as well as equal pay, parental leave, nondiscriminatory hiring and promotion, and supply chain safety.

This Special Report is groundbreaking in that it provides the first significant evaluation of the gender equality performance of public companies in Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, the three advanced economies of Asia. The report will entail ranking of the 100 leading public companies in Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore against the global benchmark. This benchmark is composed of the Top 200 companies globally leading the way for gender equality, as published in the 2018 Equileap Gender Equality Global Report & Ranking.
