Furthermore, Schneider Electric’s country president for the Philippines received the national Leadership Commitment Award and was named first runner-up in the Asia-Pacific region.
This recognition highlights her exceptional leadership in promoting gender equality.
“As a female leader, I recognize the challenges women face, but I also believe in their strength and potential. Our initiatives, like the Women with Impact mentoring program and Global Family Leave policy, empower women throughout their careers. I am proud to be part of an organization that works to break barriers and inspire an entire community to create lasting impact,” Schneider Electric Philippines president Ireen Catane.
