Capgemini is again celebrated in Bloomberg Gender Equality Index

Congratulations to Capgemini for being listed in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for a second consecutive year.

The Group saw its overall score improve, placing 9.59 points ahead of the industry average, and obtaining the highest possible score in two categories.

The benchmark index, which singled out 484 firms in 2023, was developed to gauge the performance of public companies dedicated to reporting gender-related data. This reference index measures gender equality across five pillars: leadership & talent pipeline, equal pay & gender pay parity, inclusive culture, anti-sexual harassment policies, and external brand.

“At Capgemini we believe that a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment makes for a more innovative and successful company, and supports our objective to be an employer of choice for women in the tech industry. The Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index gives us a relevant and ambitious framework towards this goal,” said Shobha Meera, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer at Capgemini and member of the Group Executive Committee.

Commitment to a diverse workplace

Capgemini continues to pursue a more inclusive workplace thanks to strong leadership involvement and impressive employee engagement.

Capgemini’s position in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index illustrates the company's commitment to establishing a diverse and inclusive work environment, where all talents, are offered equal opportunities to thrive.

This is reaffirmed in Capgemini’s Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) policy, with objectives to reach 40 per cent of women in its teams and 30 per cent in executive leadership positions by 2025.

Measuring gender equality

The Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index tracks the performance of public companies like Capgemini committed to disclosing their efforts to support gender equality through policy development, representation, and transparency.

The demand for data transparency, standardization, and performance of corporate ESG factors is at an all time high. Quantifying the social element of a company’s ESG data has become critical in tying links of human capital to financial materiality.

The Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, along with the Gender Reporting Framework, mark the first step on a company’s journey towards equality.

““Congratulations to the companies that are included in the 2023 GEI,” said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg and Founding Chairman of the U.S. 30% Club. “We continue to see an increase in both interest and membership globally, reflecting a shared goal of transparency in gender-related metrics,” says Bloomberg Chairman, Peter T. Grauer.
