Sunday 8 March 2026 is International Women’s Day (IWD). This year’s central theme is #Give To Gain.  

Giving is not an abstract idea for BDO. A culture of giving strengthens collaboration, accelerates learning, and enables inclusive leadership – all of which are essential to long-term growth. When we give intentionally, we don’t just strengthen our people; we strengthen our organisation.  

This report brings together the voices and experiences of women across the globe. Through the perspective of emerging talent and experienced leaders alike, it explores what intentional giving means to them, how it has shaped their careers, and how our culture – grounded in mentoring, collaboration, active listening, and engaged leadership – enables them to thrive. ​
