Invested in Gender Diversity

Across the investment industry, asset owners and asset managers push to enhance gender diversity at all leadership levels OVER THE PAST decade, there has been mounting evidence that greater levels of gender diversity can have a positive impact on corporate performance and economic growth. [...]we are engaging directly with companies about diversity and other thematic environmental, social, and governance (ESG) topics and publishing thought pieces to educate boards about effective pathways to increasing diversity at all levels of the organization. Since March 2017, we have called on more than 1,200 companies with no women on their boards to take action. According to the Wall Street Journal, as of March 2018-the one-year anniversary of the launch of Fearless Girl-asset managers and owners controlling more than $13 trillion had joined us in making gender diversity a stewardship priority.
