SINGAPORE, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- House of Rose Professional (HORP) announced today that the 2022 World Edition of Break the ceiling touch the sky® - the success and leadership summit for women would be held LIVE on Oct 25, 2022, with Singapore as the chosen location for this signature annual world edition of the summit . Coca-Cola, Mastercard, HP, Fine Hygienic Holding and BIC will lead as early sponsors for this eight annual world edition of the summit which will bring together live (and virtually) leaders from the world of business, not-for-profit and government to share and learn cutting-edge best practices on leadership, diversity & inclusion and success. Content will be specifically curated to provide women leaders with best practices to win and lead in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world.
The 2022 World Edition supports MISSION 2029 FOR A BETTER WORLD– the 10-year initiative (started in mid 2020), led by HORP and several global Companies to shape a better world via quintupling the number of Female CEOs (from 14 in 2020 to 70 in 2029) and doubling the number of Male CEOs (who actively advocate for diversity & inclusion) in the world's 500 largest companies by 2029.
Since 2014 House of Rose Professional has enabled over 30000 women leaders (and several thousand male leaders who support diversity & inclusion) to greater success via its Break the ceiling touch the sky® brand. Founded in 2015, the world edition is the signature forum of the Break the ceiling touch the sky® series of summits currently in North America, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, ANZ and Europe.
Victor Mills, Chief Executive, Singapore International Chamber of Commerce (SICC) commented, "The Chamber is proud to be an Industry Partner of Break the ceiling touch the sky® and has been for the last eight years. That's because I and my colleagues believe in diversity of perspectives and thinking because they reduce the risk of group think and result in better business decisions. We believe in gender equality and in equal pay because we believe in being inclusive and fair. We believe a business which has a positive workplace culture has an edge because happy, engaged teams mean happy repeat customers and sustainable businesses. I encourage you to attend this important annual summit. It attracts some of the very best international business leaders who share their experiences and the positive power of diverse work teams and company boards. Anyone who wants to know how inclusiveness in the workplace makes for better and more successful businesses should take time out to attend. It will be inspirational and it will be well worth your time."
Claudia Lorenzo, ASEAN & South Pacific Operating Unit President, The Coca-Cola Company shared, "Diversity, equity and inclusion are the heart of our company purpose, values and growth strategy. We're working to foster an inclusive culture and make Coca-Cola a great place to work, where people can belong, grow and thrive. We're pleased to be a sponsor of Break the ceiling touch the sky ®, an event which gives participants a tremendous opportunity to learn from others, share best practices, and chart their own individual courses for success."
Rama Sridhar, Executive Vice President, Strategic Customer Solutions, Mastercard said, "Inclusive growth is at the heart of what we do at Mastercard. But as with any other global challenge, Mastercard believes that advancing the inclusion agenda is too massive for a company or industry to tackle alone. Forging partnerships in support of programs like Break the ceiling touch the sky® contributes to how we collectively continue to advance women's progression in business and the workplace and promote a sustainable and equitable economic growth for all in the aftermath of the pandemic and well into the future."
Tian Chong Ng, Managing Director, Greater Asia, HP Inc commented "At HP, we are creating a powerful culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion while advancing human rights, social justice, and racial and gender equality across our ecosystem. We're committed to achieving 50/50 gender equality in HP leadership and making sure that women represent greater than 30% of our workforce in technical and engineering roles by 2030. These bold actions are, undoubtedly, the right things to do, but they are also expected by customers, partners, investors, and employees.
