To this end, I am dedicated to our partnership with Break the Ceiling, Touch the Sky ®. Last week I had the opportunity to exchange notes with leaders from other global companies on how to better enable women to attain senior positions; serve as role models and pave the way for other female leaders; and how to partner with the right male allies to support this journey. It was great to share with other leading companies our commitment to DEI at The Coca-Cola Company, and the work we're doing around gender balance. Yet the road ahead is long, and we need to do more to accelerate our progress.”

We, at Fine Hygienic Holding, have taken concrete steps over the years to make our company more diverse and inclusive, one example I am particularly proud of is moving from zero representation of women in the leadership team to 33% in only 6 months. We continue our partnership with House of Rose Professional's 2022 World Edition of Break the ceiling touch the sky® in Singapore on Oct 25, 2022.”
