Anglo American Platinum celebrates inclusion in Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index
28 January, 2020
Anglo American Platinum is proud to announce that the Company has been included in the 2020 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) for the first time, reflecting the significant progress made on creating an inclusive and diverse workplace.
In total, 325 companies headquartered in 42 countries, including only eight South African companies, were included in the 2020 Index. The GEI is seen as a valuable tool for investors considering environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters in their investment decisions. 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.
Anglo American Platinum Chief Executive Officer Chris Griffith, said: “We have put significant effort into improving our workplace policies and organisational culture to create an inclusive and diverse workplace, which we believe leads to a stronger operational and financial performance, benefitting all our stakeholders. Our inclusion in the 2020 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index allows us to benchmark against the best companies worldwide, identify areas where we can make further improvements, and celebrate the significant progress we’ve made in creating a culturally inclusive and supportive work environment for all employees, irrespective of race, gender, disability or religion.”
