The index recognizes member firms’ commitment to disclosure and best-in-class policies and practices, providing investors with valuable data on internal company statistics, employee policies, gender-conscious product offerings and external community engagement. In response to demand from investors, companies and other stakeholders, we launched the sector-neutral Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) in January 2018. The Bloomberg GEI recognizes firms from communications, consumer staples, energy, financials, materials and technology, among other sectors, and brings a new level of clarity and awareness to social and governance information in the gender equality space. Membership includes more than 100 firms headquartered in 24 countries and regions. Bloomberg will continue to refresh and rebalance the BFGEI in addition to the Bloomberg GEI on an annual basis.
