“We are proud to be included in the 2021 Bloomberg
Gender-Equality Index. At WNS, we believe in driving equality for
all of our global employees and creating a culture of
inclusiveness. The company actively promotes equitable practices
with respect to job opportunities, career growth, pay parity and
diversity of thought. Going forward, we remain committed to
advancing these key principles to insure “belongingness for all”
and to further our culture of co-creation and outperformance," said
Keshav R. Murugesh, Group CEO, WNS.
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 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.
The 2020 GEI included 325 companies headquartered across 42
countries and regions.
“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, Chairman of Bloomberg.
“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
providing 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. WNS 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.
