The ‘S’ in ESG gains currency
-Gender equality and human rights are benchmarkers for companies
-Inequality in wages lead to lesser economic output which can lower GDP by 10%-30%
-Gender equality needs to be larger than wage gap (maternity/paternity leave, career advancement, and go beyond legal minimums)
-Gender equality leads to outperforming competition
-COVID-19 has brought these social issues to light
Why Diversity and Inclusion Matters
The more diverse companies (gender and ethnic diversity) are now more likely than ever to outperform less diverse peers on profitability.
The common thread for these diverse companies is a systematic approach and bold steps to strengthen inclusion:
1)Ensure the representation of diverse talent.
2)Strengthen leadership accountability and capabilities for I&D.
3)Enable equality of opportunity through fairness and transparency.
4)Promote openness and tackle microaggressions.
5)Foster belonging through unequivocal support for multivariate diversity.
