Policy Review & Consultations

At PBCWE, we champion policy reform and corporate transformation to advance gender equality, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. Our policy consultation work bridges the gap between government regulation and private sector implementation—ensuring that inclusive practices are not just encouraged, but embedded in business strategy.

PBCWE collaborates closely with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to promote gender-responsive corporate governance. Through joint initiatives such as the Census on Women in Leadership Roles in Publicly Listed Companies, we provide evidence-based insights that inform SEC’s evolving sustainability and gender reporting guidelines.

Key outcomes of our collaboration include:

• Advocating for mandatory gender data reporting under the SEC’s sustainability framework, aligned with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards.
• Supporting the transition from “comply-or-explain” to mandatory disclosures, making gender diversity a measurable and strategic business priority.
• Providing policy recommendations that highlight the link between gender-balanced leadership and improved business performance
