Bank Islam Malaysia Comes On-board

 

On International Women’s Day 2022 the 30% Club Malaysia welcomed its latest Corporate Advocate, Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (BIMB). A virtual event to commemorate these two important milestones was hosted by BIMB.

 

 

More than 160 guests from within BIMB, in addition to 30% Club Malaysia Corporate Advocates and volunteers tuned in to the event.

 

It began with a welcome address by Mohd Muazzam Mohamed, Group CEO, BIMB who shared the various initiatives to advance diversity, equity and inclusion within the bank and in its operations. He also shared the commimentment to #breakthebias

 

 

Then 30% Club Malaysia’s Chair Ami Moris addressed the guests and highlighted that Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is a business case for Malaysia to build world-class companies that can compete with the global best.

 

Some of the notable updates she shared was that women representation on the top 100 PLC boards rose to 26% in February 2022, close to double what it was in 2015 (14%) when the chapter was established. Moreover, the women representation on the boards of all the 900+ PLCs has also steadily increased to 18% from 11%.

 

 

She also shared that the 30% Club Malaysia’s mission is validated by the announcement at Budget 2022 that it is mandatory for PLCs to appoint a female director by September this year. 

Additionally, Bursa Malaysia’s recently launched PLC Transformation (PLCT) Programme also specifies diversity metrics as a measure of effectiveness of governance and talent management efforts.

 

 

30% Club Malaysia looks forward to more collaborative initiatives with BIMB and our other Corporate Advocates in 2022.

Celem panelu jest dyskusja na temat realnych działań, które muszą być podjęte, aby zwiększyć udział kobiet we władzach spółek. W panelu usłyszymy szeroki głos interesariuszy tego zagadnienia, przedstawicieli inwestorów instytucjonalnych, spółek giełdowych oraz firm doradztwa personalnego. Poszukamy rozwiązań, które można i warto wprowadzić.

 

Pretekstem do dyskusji będzie raport 30% Club Poland Investor Group „Różnorodność w radach nadzorczych 2021”, którego Partnerem jest UN Global Compact Network Poland. Raport diagnozuje przyczyny niskiego poziomu nominacji kobiet na członków rad nadzorczych przez krajowych inwestorów instytucjonalnych. Zdaniem respondentów kluczowymi barierami są: 1) niewystarczająca liczba kobiet we własnych bazach kandydatów oraz 2) mniej aktywny sposób promocji swoich kandydatur przez kobiety.

 

Zachęcamy do zapoznania się z pełną treścią raportu tutaj.

 

Serdecznie zapraszamy!

A discussion on leadership at AI Summit 2020

Are there differences in the leadership DNA of female and male leaders?


“Women leaders have handled the Covid-19 crisis better than their male counterparts.”


“Regardless of gender, there are 4 fundamental traits of a leader – higher level of self-awareness, learning agility, skills to influence and communication skills.”


“Be gender blind even with yourself and you’ll find out more often than not they will treat you equally.”


“Its crucial to have an open mindset and be receptive.”


These were some of the views discussed at the recent AI Summit 2020, where 30% Club Malaysia was a supporting partner. The panel discussion was moderated by Raj Kumar Paramanathan, Managing Partner of CnetG Asia and a 30% Club Advocate.


Five eminent panelists, CEO and Country Head of Sun Life Rizalina Mantaring, Board Director Ayla Majid, HSBC Malaysia Head of Commercial Banking Karel Avni Doshi, Executive Search & Board Advisor for African Markets Debbie Goodman-Bhyat, and Center for Creative Leadership Senior Director and Head of Asia Research Sunil Puri, shared their views on what leadership traits are and their relevance for a sustainable and inclusive new world.


More women in boards: IdDC awards scholarships for the “Effective Directories” program 2020

In order to promote diversity and inclusion on the boards, as well as increase the incorporation of women in the Senior Management of companies, the Institute of Directors of Chile, IdDC, awarded two scholarships for its corporate governance program “Effective Directories” 2020.

Ana María Rabagliati from Antofagasta Minerals and Gabriela Feierabend from Willis Towers Watson were the winners. After receiving the news, Ana María Rabagliati, Vice President of Human Resources at Antofagasta Minerals, said us that she was “very enthusiastic and grateful for the opportunity they have given me to participate in this program. I believe that it will give me effective tools to contribute from my role as director and acquire knowledge that will allow me to strengthen my contribution to the development of good corporate governance of companies. ”

At the same time, Gabriela Feierabend, CFO of Willis Towers Watson Chile, said us she is “very grateful to be able to participate and earn this scholarship for the Directory Efectivos program. I firmly believe in gender equality and that there is no barrier in women if we believe in ourselves. I hope that this program will give us a different perspective as directors and how to act in this ‘new reality’ in a responsible and effective way ”.

The scholarship was focused on women candidates from the companies associated with the Club of 30%, with an experience of at least 15 years, of which the last 5 have been in leadership positions and roles and who are currently aspiring to be board member.

Club Leaders meet up

“There will be no progress if one doesn’t work actively. Looking at each other and wonder why the absence of female leadership in our strategic initiatives, has been important to think about our culture that we must change”, says Hernán Rodríguez, President of Colbún Energía and Member of the 30% Club Chile. 

 

 

At the same time, Juan Carlos Eichholz told us “How diversity culture and female leadership attributes are very necessary at digital age. In addition, there are experiments that have shown that teams work improves when there is 30% as minimum representation”.

 

 

Ricardo Falú, GG of AES Gener told us about his successful experience incorporating 50% of women at work in Colombia and the support to them. Both companies are competition, but they are collaborating and sharing best practices.
