BCCTaipei Hosts 'Women in Business Forum: Climate Action Taiwan' to Share Research on Women's Role in Climate Action
On 16 March 2023, the British Chamber of Commerce in Taipei (BCCTaipei) held the "Women in Business Forum: Climate Action Taiwan" to present the findings of its cross-industry research on the status and role of women in climate action in Taiwan. The report identifies three key suggestions for increasing female representation: more hardline governmental legislation for businesses, i.e. tax breaks to incentivise female promotion; regulations to appoint at least one female director per organisation; and more creative means to facilitate women's entry into in-demand industries where they are underrepresented. The research also examines the wide variety of measures adopted by private organisations to tackle climate change in keeping with local policies and legislation.
