Nestlé gets Bloomberg Gender Equality Index recognition
Nestlé has been recognised in the 2021 Bloomberg Gender Equality Index (GEI) for its transparency in gender reporting and advancing women’s equality in the workplace.
The FMCG giant scored at or above a global threshold established by Bloomberg, reflecting a high level of disclosure and overall performance across the framework’s five pillars, which include female leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity, inclusive culture, sexual harassment policies and pro-women brand.
The GEI recognized the company’s notable progress in ensuring an inclusive culture and advancing gender pay and equal pay parity.
Commenting on the company’s achievement, Béatrice Guillaume-Grabisch, Nestlé’s Head of Group Human Resources and Global Business Services, noted that the recognition is evidence that the company has made progress in its commitment to inclusion.
She said: “Our inclusion in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index is recognition of the progress we have made so far on gender balance, a key component of our approach to diversity and inclusion. It underlines our commitment to continue driving actions to make Nestlé an even more diverse and inclusive place to work.”
The company has made efforts to build a more inclusive and diverse company by drawing a plan in 2019 to to increase the number of women in senior executive positions globally by 2022 and signed the International Labour Organization (ILO) Global Business and Disability Network Charter to ensure the inclusion of people with disabilities in 2020.
The company recently joined the World Economic Forum ‘Partnering for Racial Justice in Business’ initiative as a founding member, with the aim of using its voice to against institutional racism in business and society.
