The final 3 partners joining Together, She Soars to share their collective wisdom in pursuit of a more gender-equal Japan are… Japan Coca Cola, Coca Cola Bottlers & VMware!
These brands will share the stage with other organisations pioneering gender equality in Japan: Salesforce, Adobe, Morgan Stanley, Amundi, Bosch Japan, Deloitte, Hilti, Nissan & Philip Morris.
Over the coming weeks and months, you will receive exclusive insights into their stories, how they have fostered truly diverse and inclusive cultures and how they are equipping their female leaders to advance.
About the project
The Dream Collective are uniting business leaders, KOL’s and advocates of change from some of Japan’s most established brands to contribute to our book to be released in 2021 “Together, She…”.
The book will contain personal stories from individuals and organisations on how they empowered, mentored, sponsored or supported women in their lives to reach their full potential and collectively sponsor a minimum of 100 high-potential young professional women into leadership development training.
In light of the coronavirus pandemic and the significant shifts in the corporate landscape in Japan, the book will focus on stories around how participating businesses:
- Created innovation from a crisis and how that contributed to female advancement.
- Showed resilience in their careers and leadership.
- Bounced back from a difficult time / problem.
- Created an environment for women to progress forward to their moonshot vision.
