An increasing number of companies are making it clear that disclosures concerning people are critical to business recovery. True to their impact and influence, companies have publicly demonstrated their responsibility to promote good corporate governance, as well as diverse, gender-equal, and inclusive workplaces for all. The integration of gender data on sustainability reports reinforces the companies’ commitment and accountability to gender equality. Employee data and policies that promote such are deemed material as they concern bottom-line benefits and create opportunities for growth – from its leaders to investors, consumers, and well into its respective teams.

The guidelines abide by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), as well as other internationally recognised reporting frameworks.
