Empowering Women Swire Properties’ continues to empower women in the Company and in all areas of society gathered momentum in 2022. A host of initiatives and events across our portfolios underlined our commitment to advancing equality everywhere. International Women’s Day in Hong Kong International Women’s Day (“IWD”), held on 8 March, is a global campaign to raise awareness of gender equality and encourage everyone to play their part and help create a world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. Leading up to IWD, the Swire Women’s Network hosted a virtual celebration on 3 March, featuring invited speakers and the screening of a video featurette on this year’s theme, #BreakTheBias. The “Break the Bias” theme illustrated how, as an organisation, we are committed to eliminating gender barriers to create a more inclusive workplace for both women and men. To understand more about what Break the Bias means to our people, we spoke to colleagues from Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and the U.S.A. – a video of their thoughts can be found here. On 8 March, we marked IWD with an interactive workshop that showcased excerpts from “She Objects”, a documentary on gender stereotypes in the Hong Kong media, featuring insights from celebrities and interviews with leading experts. Blueprint also invited two female leaders to share their journey to success and how they are forging change in the world. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2022 111
