The debate about women on boards is heating up as an increasing number of reports and studies highlight the disparities between countries and sectors around the world. Does this debate matter? We believe it does. There is growing evidence of improved corporate governance, better decision-making and increased bottom-line business performance when boards have a greater mix of men and women.

In this current period of economic and social stress, we believe the time is right to open up the discussion in Hong Kong. All the more so now since Hong Kong has been ranked number one financial centre in the world.
To coincide with International Women’s Day on 8 March 2012, Community Business is partnering with The Women’s Foundation Hong Kong to organise a series of activities in Hong Kong to promote the discussion of women on boards.
