HSBC is proud to support International Women's Day 2008
Large organisations such as HSBC have a responsibility to ensure progressive and fair work environments for their employees. We also have a responsibility to support and develop the communities that we serve - a commitment we take very seriously. The issue of Women's Development and Equality is firmly on the corporate agenda.

At HSBC we see gender diversity as more than a responsibility. We understand that it is just good business sense and is critical to our corporate success. Our Board is one of the most international in the world and has three female directors, more than most of the world's leading companies.

Globally, International Women's Day recognises women's diverse local contributions and inspires potential in other women. It is an opportunity for us to reflect on what women have achieved and also to consider what still remains to be done.
 

HSBC is a progressive employer
HSBC has many initiatives aimed at recruiting, retaining and developing female talent. Read about these at wheretowork.com/hsbc .

In the UK, we've recently launched an award-winning new childcare scheme that allows working parents to balance work and home responsibilities. We've already had more than 1,000 employees join the scheme and have been named NSPCC's family friendly employer of the year by "WORKING FAMILIES" - a charitable organisation dedicated to helping people achieve a balance between home and working life. Worldwide, our Hong Kong Office offers the only child day care centre of any commercial organisation in Hong Kong.

One of our most recent projects is a global programme by the Education Trust and Students in Free Enterprise to provide financial literacy education to women entrepreneurs and young people.
