Philippine Business Coalition for Women Empowerment PBCWE is an organization composed the country's influential businesses that are large employers who will take the appropriate steps to improve gender equality in their own workplaces and to influence businesses, both in their supply chains and other large businesses, and to also become better employers of women.
PBCWE was launched in March 2017 through a partnership between the Philippine Women’s Economic Network, Inc. (PhilWEN) and Investing in Women (IW), an Australian Government initiative. IW aims for women’s economic empowerment in four Southeast Asian economies: Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar, and Vietnam. PBCWE is under the IW’s Workplace Gender Equality (WGE) pathway which supports business coalitions that work with influential businesses on shifting workplace cultures, practices, and policy barriers to achieve WGE.
AEV is the first industrial conglomerate to join the organization to foster alliance to address gender equality and share best practices to improve workplace culture, processes and policies.
