The 2019 Gender-Equality Index highlights 230 firms that are trailblazers in their commitment to gender diversity in the workplace
Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE:CRL) today announced that it is pleased to have been selected as one of 230 companies for the 2019 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI), which distinguishes companies committed to transparency in gender reporting and advancing gender diversity. For Charles River, the GEI inclusion affirms the Company's commitment to maintaining a positive and fulfilling work environment for all employees.
Increasing Transparency in Gender Equality
Bloomberg's standardized reporting framework offers public companies the opportunity to disclose information on how they promote gender equality across four separate areas – company statistics, policies, community engagement and products and services. Reporting companies that score above a globally-established threshold, based on the extent of disclosures and the achievement of best-in-class statistics and policies, are included in the GEI. Still, currently only 10% of eligible companies are disclosing their workplace gender policies and practices.
