Event Details

BritCham will be holding a roundtable discussion on the impact of gender diversity on corporate success. The session will be hosted by Tim Payne, chair of the steering committee of the 30% Club​.


The 30% Club believes that gender balance on boards and in senior management not only encourages better leadership and governance, but diversity further contributes to better all-round board performance, and ultimately increased corporate performance for both companies and their shareholders. The discussion will centre around how this applies to China, and your personal experience of how gender impacts success.


Please note that this event is open to participants of all genders at Director or C-Suite Level.


This is the inaugural event of the British Chamber's Women in Leadership Forum, which exists to create a network of BritCham members passionate about encouraging gender diversity and openness in their company in order to spark discussion and make meaningful change.
