Business Wire
Western Union (NYSE: WU), a global leader in cross-border,
cross-currency money movement and payments, today announced that it
is one of 380 companies globally included in the 2021 Bloomberg
Gender-Equality Index (GEI). The GEI 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. It is Western Union’s second
consecutive year appearing in the Index.
“Being recognized in the Bloomberg GEI is testament to Western
Union’s passion for and commitment to diversity, equity and
inclusion,” said Hikmet Ersek, Western Union’s President and Chief
Executive Officer. “As a truly global brand with a diverse and
multi-cultural stakeholder base, we have been committed to build an
inclusive culture that we believe is critical for our
organizational health and innovation power, and ultimately, our
performance and the company’s future success.”
The GEI brings transparency to gender-related practices and
policies at publicly listed companies, increasing the breadth of
environmental, social, governance (ESG) data available to
investors. The comprehensive, transparent GEI scoring methodology
allows investors to assess company performance and compare across
industry peer groups.
“The companies included in the 2021 GEI are expanding the ESG
data universe to include gender-related data that investors are
demanding today,” said Peter T. Grauer, Bloomberg chairman. “Their
commitment to disclosure is making the business case for inclusion
and driving transparency in the markets.”
Through disclosure of gender-related metrics using the GEI
framework, the firms included in the 2021 GEI have committed to
provide a comprehensive look at their investment in workplace
gender equality and the communities in which they operate, raising
the bar of what should be expected from other companies within the
same industry. 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.
Both the framework and the GEI are voluntary and have no
associated costs. To learn more please visit the GEI website.
