This study explored the extent to which energy companies in APEC countries implemented gender equality programs and policies. This study is important to provide evidence whether energy companies support for gender equality, since there are prejudice that energy industry are ’male-based industries’. The study used content analysis to examine gender-related disclosures, utilizing the World Benchmarking Alliance's gender benchmark as an analytical framework. The sample size was 24 companies from 15 countries selected using a purposive sampling method. Our analysis showed that many companies report a strong commitment to gender issues. However, support for gender balance at the executive level and gender-responsive procurement policies are lacking. The top management in energy companies should encourage the company element to implement improvement activity regarding supporting gender. The government should provide stronger support, by creating regulations that promote gender equality. Women's groups can encourage women to pursue careers and leadership roles in energy companies
