国際女性デー　Leadership Perspectives: embracing equity on International Women’s Day

国際女性デーは、男女平等、出産に関する権利、女性に対する暴力や虐待などの問題に注意を向ける世界的な日です。
弊社（Bachem） のような企業が「STEM」分野 (科学、技術、工学、数学) で女性の可能性をどのように活用できるか、また、彼らにどのようなアドバイスができるか、Bachem の女性リーダーの何人かに話しを聞きました。

International Women’s Day is a global awareness day bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights and violence and abuse against women.
We took the chance to sit down with some of Bachem’s leaders to discuss their views on how companies like Bachem can tap into the potential of women in the “STEM” fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and what advice they have for young women looking to make a career in this area.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme is “Embrace Equity.” The words equity and equality are often used interchangeably, but they are inherently different concepts:
Equality – each individual or group of people is given the same resources or
opportunities.
Equity – recognizes that each person has different circumstances, and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome.
So, the aim of this year’s theme is to get the world talking about why equal opportunities aren’t enough. People start from different places, so true inclusion
and belonging require equitable action.

Women are significantly underrepresented in STEM. For example, in the United States, women make up less than a quarter of those working in STEM occupations*. The reasons why may include both intrinsic psychological factors and external environmental variables, such as their mentorship experiences and
preferences, their academic mindsets, STEM attitudes, and family background characteristics**.

By 2026, Bachem wants to count a 10% higher proportion of women in its workforce, upper management and regional executive committees as compared to 2020. Our human resources team works to attract and retain women for science-based professions and in management positions. Moreover, we support initiatives to promote science-based professions to young women.

How long have you been working at Bachem, and what is your current role?
Divina Peralta says:
“I have been working at Bachem for 17 years. I am currently the Vice President of Supply Chain at Bachem Americas, overseeing the end-to-end supply chain operations from strategic planning to delivery of research and API products to our customers.”
