Gender-Equality Index

Invest in a more equal future.

The Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) tracks the performance of public companies committed to disclosing their efforts to support gender equality through policy development, representation, and transparency.

The demand for data transparency, standardization, and performance of corporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors is at an all time high. Quantifying the social element of a company’s ESG data has become critical in tying links of human capital to financial materiality.

The Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, along with the Gender Reporting Framework, mark the first step on a company’s journey towards equality.

“Gender equality leads to better dynamics, better teams, better decisions and better results. For a group like CaixaBank, with deep roots in society and a vocation of leadership, it is imperative to carry on determinedly promoting gender equality and diversity in teams in every aspect. Progressing in diversity also means constantly reviewing and reinforcing the functioning of meritocracy, which is necessary to build a more capable, stronger and more competitive organisation.”
