WEqual Commitment
WEqual, Women Equal, is the commitment to realize gender equality from conducting within one company to forming a friendly community related by renewable energy. Gender is always a key factor to consider in the long-term healthy development, especially in Asia.
To achieve WEqual, companies must reach a certain proportion goal of female workforce among all employees across their global branches suited to their own conditions and development stages by 2030.
With dreaming and hopes, we solemnly make the WEqual commitment.
