Business Wire
Western Union (NYSE: WU) today announced that it is one of 325
companies across 50 industries included in the 2020 Bloomberg
Gender-Equality Index (GEI). The GEI expanded in 2020 to represent
42 countries and regions, including firms headquartered in the
Czech Republic, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland and Russia
for the first time. Companies range from a variety of industries,
including automotive, banking, consumer services, engineering and
construction and retail.
“This recognition is a significant step toward demonstrating
Western Union’s commitment to diversity and inclusion,” said
Caroline Tsai, Western Union’s Chief Legal Officer and Corporate
Secretary. “Equity is an important focus for our business given the
diversity of our employees and customers, and Western Union’s
inclusion in the Bloomberg GEI serves as an important milestone as
we work toward building a culture of inclusive innovation each and
every day.”
The GEI tracks the financial performance of public companies
committed to supporting gender equality through policy development,
representation and transparency. The reference index measures
gender equality across five pillars: female leadership and talent
pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity, inclusive culture,
sexual harassment policies and pro-women brand. This year,
Bloomberg expanded the eligibility for inclusion in the index to
nearly 6,000 companies across 84 countries and regions.
“While we are proud that Western Union is included in the
Bloomberg GEI, we recognize that our work is never done in pursuit
of gender equality,” said Nicole Vogrin, Western Union’s Chief
Corporate Affairs and Communications Officer. “Whether it’s our
focus on women in leadership, our commitment to the principle of
equal pay for equal work, or delivering leadership training about
unconscious bias toward working mothers, we acknowledge the
progress in our journey toward gender equality, and humbly
recognize there is much work yet to do.”
Through disclosure of gender-related metrics using the GEI
framework, the firms included in the 2020 GEI have provided a
comprehensive look at their investment in workplace gender equality
and the communities in which they operate. Western Union was
included in this year’s index for scoring at or above a global
threshold established by Bloomberg to reflect a high level of
disclosure and overall performance across the framework’s five
pillars.
"The 325 companies included in the 2020 GEI have shown their
commitment to transparency and demonstrated leadership in
gender-related data reporting," said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of
Bloomberg. "Disclosure of company statistics and practices is an
important first step in supporting gender equality globally."
Both the framework and the GEI are voluntary and have no
associated costs. The GEI is a reference index and is not for use
as a financial benchmark. The index is not ranked. While all public
companies are encouraged to disclose supplemental gender data for
their company’s investment profile on the Bloomberg Terminal, those
that have a market capitalization of USD $1 billion are eligible
for inclusion in the index. To learn more please visit the GEI
website. Bloomberg Terminal subscribers can access the GEI at {BGEI
