On September 5th, 2025, Leila and Danita from COVA Cambodia attended a UN Women Workshop on the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEP). The event served as a crucial platform to underscore the importance of training, mentoring and women’s leadership as strategic drivers for a more inclusive future.
Representing COVA Cambodia, Leila had the privilege of sharing how the company is actively championing gender and equality and empowering women within the construction industry. She highlighted over COVA’s commitment extends beyond policy to encompass actionable initiatives, including dedicated training and mentoring programs. These programs are designed to equip our employees with the skills and confidence necessary for career advancement, while specifically supporting the professional development of women in a traditionally male-dominated sector.
During the workshop, COVA reaffirmed its commitment to embedding the WEPs into its daily operations and corporate values. This includes fostering a culture of continuous learning and mutual respect. Our strategic focus on training and mentoring aims to help both men and women achieve a healthy work-life balance, enabling them to pursue their professional goals and care for their families without compromise.
This investment in human capital is a key business imperative that fuels innovation, strengthens our community impact and positions COVA Cambodia as a leader in creating a more equitable and inclusive workforce. We look forward to continuing this work and building a future where every individual is empowered to thrive.
