In total, 380 companies headquartered in 44 countries and regions were included in the 2021 Index. The GEI is seen as a transparent and independent tool for investors considering environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters in their investment decisions.
The GEI measures gender equality using 74 metrics across five pillars: female leadership and talent pipeline; equal pay and gender pay parity; inclusive culture; sexual harassment policies and pro-women brand. To be included in the Index, a company has to score at or above a global threshold established by Bloomberg to reflect a high level of disclosure and overall performance across the five pillars.
