#ChooseToChallenge
Here at Siemens, we are committed to ensuring that we have a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace. Women have played a key role at Siemens since our company’s early days and remain vital to our success today. It’s our continuing objective to strengthen gender equality and achieve the full empowerment of all women.
This International Women's Day, we invited you to join us for our first ever free virtual event featuring inspirational speakers from around the world with the common theme #ChooseToChallenge – which was also the official theme for IWD 2021.
A challenged world is an alert world. And from challenge comes change.
Please have a look at the recordings to explore how we can challenge ourselves, and others, to forge a more gender-balanced world.
On International Women’s Day, but also every day, we need to work together to achieve a more gender equal society, where all women feel celebrated and empowered.Natalia Oropeza, Chief Cybersecurity Officer & Chief Diversity Officer of Siemens AG
