The 2022 GEI listing included 418 companies from 11 different sectors in 45 countries. This year, Bloomberg is already seeing an increase in participants and the amount of details being disclosed over last year.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">GEI data so far shows:<\/span><\/p><ul><li>the number of accounts registered has risen 40% in the U.S., 39% in Europe, Middle East &amp; Africa, 18% in Asia Pacific and three percent in Latin America<\/li><li>new country participants include Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, and Pakistan<\/li><li>while financial companies have traditionally led the list, now companies in the aerospace, pharmaceutical and technology sectors are participating<br \/><br \/><\/li><\/ul><p>We are gratified to see so many more companies use the GEI to identify and strengthen their policies regarding equal pay and gender pay parity,\u201d said Patricia Torres, Global Head of Bloomberg\u2019s Sustainable Finance Solutions, which includes the GEI. \u201cThis transparency helps companies attract employees and gives investors the data they need to make decisions.\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The GEI evaluates companies on five key pillars:<\/span><\/p><ol><li>Leadership and Talent Pipeline<\/li><li>Equal pay and gender pay parity<\/li><li>Inclusive Culture<\/li><li>Anti-Sexual Harassment Policies<\/li><li>External Brand<\/li><\/ol><p>For the 2023 evaluation, companies asked that Bloomberg add two other areas for exploration \u2014 LGBTQ+, race and ethnicity. Disclosure of this data will begin in the US and UK markets; these questions are optional and will not be scored.<\/p><p>Companies participate voluntarily at no cost via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/gei\">Bloomberg GEI website<\/a>. The deadline for submission to the 2023 GEI is September 30, 2022. After submitting data, Bloomberg\u2019s GEI team analyses the data and provides the company a scorecard based on the methodology. The team will review the results with the companies, so they know how they were scored and why, prior to the announcement of the GEI results in January 2023.<\/p><p>\u201cCompanies can also use the GEI as an internal worksheet,\u201d Torres added. \u201cThey can go online, without obligation, and see what the methodology entails. This is helpful in enhancing their gender-equality programs.\u201d<\/p><p>The Bloomberg GEI team held a webinar recently to explain the index and show companies how to participate. The webinar can be replayed via this <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinexperiences.com\/scripts\/Server.nxp?LASCmd=AI:4;F:QS!10100&amp;ShowUUID=939C719C-869C-4923-801A-9B6B2CC182B6&amp;utm_medium=Vanity&amp;utm_source=Sales&amp;utm_content=GEIDataSubmissionWebinar&amp;utm_campaign=632025&amp;tactic=632025\">link<\/a>.<\/p><h4>About the GEI<\/h4><p>The standardised GEI reporting framework allows investors to compare how companies around the world are investing in women in the workplace, supply chain and communities in which they operate. Submitting data through Bloomberg\u2019s gender reporting framework is voluntary and has no associated cost. The GEI is a benchmark index and is not used as a financial benchmark. The index is not ranked. Companies included in this year\u2019s index scored at or above an overall value set by Bloomberg to reflect a high level of disclosure and overall performance across the five pillars of the framework. <\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><em>Photo: viarami \/ Pixabay<\/em><br \/><em>Source: <a
