Business Wire
WPP (NYSE: WPP) was today named in the 2022 Bloomberg
Gender-Equality Index (GEI) for the fourth consecutive year.
The Index tracks the performance of public companies committed
to advancing gender equality in the workplace, and WPP’s inclusion
in the 2022 GEI is recognition of its progress and achievements in
policy development, representation and data transparency.
The global standard set by Bloomberg is measured across five
pillars: female leadership & talent pipeline; equal pay &
gender pay parity; inclusive culture; anti-sexual harassment
policies; and pro-women brand.
This year, the GEI threshold was raised and includes a total of
418 best-practice companies from 45 countries and regions, covering
a wide range of sectors and industries.
Mark Read, CEO of WPP, said: “WPP is a people business
and our client work directly benefits from having diversity in our
teams; different perspectives and backgrounds fuel our creativity
and help us connect with consumers. We’re proud of our recognition
in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index which reflects our continued
investment in our people and culture, and our progress in driving
greater gender balance throughout the company.”
Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg and Founding Chairman of
the U.S. 30% Club, said: “We are proud to recognise WPP and the
other 417 companies included in the 2022 GEI for their commitment
to transparency and setting a new standard in gender-related data
reporting. Even though the threshold for inclusion in the GEI has
risen, the member list continues to grow. This is a testament that
more companies are working to improve upon their gender-related
metrics, fostering more opportunity for diverse talent to succeed
in their organisations.”
