To celebrate International Women's Day 2024 we gathered with ANZCham Taiwan to host an exceptional event in honor to the contributions of women to ESG
The Cross Chamber Women's Day Picnic welcomed nearly 40 guests for an afternoon dedicated to relaxation, empowerment, and sustainability. This gathering aimed to acknowledge the strides women have made in supporting healthier societies and building robust communities through their roles in business and charitable endeavors.
Highlighting Women's Impact on ESG
A focal point of the picnic was the emphasis on "Women in ESG," spotlighting the forefront role of women in incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance principles into their professional lives. Special guests Marie Turpin from Decathlon Taiwan's decarbonization initiative and Echo Wang, CEO of PACK Taiwan, shared valuable insights into sustainable practices and the significance of mindful, ethical business strategies.
Echo Wang's participation brought to light the event's dedication to supporting PACK Taiwan, our long-term partner charity focused on rehoming neglected dogs.

The picnic offered an array of activities alongside delicious offerings from Merci and Carrefour Taiwan, complemented by nutritious Kulu Kombucha. It was an excellent opportunity for networking, with participants engaging in meaningful conversations with leaders in sustainability and community building.
It provided a space for attendees to immerse themselves in inspiring stories of challenges overcome and milestones achieved by women .
