ASX is a proud supporter of International Women’s Day and is pleased to continue its tradition of ‘ringing the bell’ for gender equality.
ASX is part of a global collaboration of more than 70 stock exchanges to take part in the ‘ring the bell’ initiative to raise awareness about the business case for women’s economic empowerment, and the opportunities to advance gender equality and sustainable development of women in the workplace.
This initiative is organised by Women in ETFs, UN Global Compact, UN Women, Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative, IFC and World Federation of Stock Exchanges. Each year, ASX also partners with a non-profit association focused on promoting empowerment of women towards gender equality, and invites them to ring the bell for our joint cause.
ASX has consistently been recognised as an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality by the Australian Government's Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA), a citation we have held since 2014. To encourage greater representation of women at all levels in the organisation, ASX has put in place a number of initiatives. These include:
ASX’s OWN network is a group of committed ASX employees leading the conversation on gender diversity at ASX. OWN focuses on four priorities:
OWN has set the standard for employee-led interest groups and hosted numerous networking and speaker events. These have provided everyone at ASX, men and women alike, development opportunities and empowered thinking about gender inclusivity.
