Business Wire
WPP (NYSE: WPP) was today named in the 2020 Bloomberg
Gender-Equality Index (GEI) for the second year running.
WPP was included in this year’s Index for meeting the global
threshold established by Bloomberg to reflect the comprehensive
disclosure of gender-related metrics and investment in workplace
gender equality and the communities in which it operates. The Index
is made up of 325 companies headquartered across 42 countries and
regions in 50 industries.
Mark Read, CEO of WPP, said: “Gender balance results not
only in more rewarding workplaces but greater diversity of ideas in
the work we create. As we continue to support the acceleration of
female leaders at WPP and invest in the development of our female
talent, we’re proud to be recognised as an industry leader in
Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index.”
The GEI tracks the financial performance of public companies
committed to supporting gender equality through policy development,
representation, and transparency.
The reference Index measures gender equality across five
pillars: female leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and
gender pay parity, inclusive culture, sexual harassment policies,
and pro-women brand.
“The 325 companies included in the 2020 GEI have shown their
commitment to transparency and demonstrated leadership in
gender-related data reporting,” said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman
of Bloomberg. “Disclosure of company statistics and practices
is an important first step in supporting gender equality
globally.”
