    8 March marks International Women’s Day, which is recognised globally to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.

    The day also encourages a call to action for men and women to accelerate the progress of gender equality.

    At Leighton Asia, the importance of this day is stressed. Progressing gender equality across our company benefits us all.
