2024 Asia-Pacific WEPs Awards Regional Awardees Profiles

The UN Women Asia-Pacific Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) Awards recognise companies that are advancing gender equality across their workplace, marketplace and community, in alignment with the WEPs. The initiative aims to highlight good practices from across the region and encourage more businesses to take action for gender equality in and through their organisation.

Across four cycles between 2020-2022 and 2024, the Asia-Pacific WEPs Awards received more than 2,000 applications from over 1,000 companies across 20 Asia-Pacific countries, ultimately awarding the actions of more than 300 leaders, business associations, companies, and SMEs. This knowledge product features the eight Regional Winners of the 2024 Asia-Pacific WEPs Awards.

The 2024 WEPs Awards were organised as part of the UN Women Gender Action Lab: Innovation and Impact for Gender Equality in Asia-Pacific, in collaboration with the Government of Australia through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). The Gender Action Lab is a four-year programme that aims to foster private sector innovations and concrete actions that advance gender equality and women’s empowerment and build more inclusive economies across the region.
