Burberry is proud to announce its inclusion in the 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality (GEI) for the third consecutive year, reflecting the Company's commitment to gender equality and transparency.
The 2023 GEI is a modified market capitalization-weighted index developed to gauge the performance of public companies dedicated to reporting gender-related data. This reference index measures gender equality across five pillars, including: leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity, inclusive culture, anti-sexual harassment policies, and external brand.
This year, Burberry performed above the average across leadership and talent pipeline, inclusive culture and external brand. The results have continued to highlight areas in which the Company’s diversity, equity and inclusion strategy is successfully creating change across the business, including through the implementation of inclusive recruitment practices and the development of bespoke leadership programmes. At the same time, the results have also enabled Burberry to further identify areas of opportunity to grow and build on its support for colleagues and communities.
Geoffrey Williams, Vice President of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Burberry: “We are pleased to be included in the Bloomberg GEI for the third consecutive year. Gender equality is critical to creating a work environment that is truly inclusive, and we’re passionate about partnering with our colleagues and communities to foster a culture where everyone feels they can belong. As we continue to evolve our policies and further embed inclusivity into our leadership programmes, we hope to address the key challenges facing women in both the workplace and beyond.”
Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg and Founding Chairman of the U.S. 30% Club: “Congratulations to the companies that are included in the 2023 GEI. We continue to see an increase in both interest and membership globally, reflecting a shared goal of transparency in gender-related metrics.”
Burberry’s ambition to further gender equality forms part of a holistic strategy around diversity, equity and inclusion. Further information on our diversity and inclusion initiatives can be found here.
