CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Northern Trust has been recognized as one of a select group of companies for the 2019 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI), which distinguishes companies committed to transparency in gender reporting and advancing women’s equality.
The 2019 Gender-Equality Index highlights firms that are trailblazers in their commitment to transparency in workplace gender reporting. This is the second consecutive year that Northern Trust has been included on the Index.
“We applaud Northern Trust and other firms tracked by the index for their action to measure gender equality through the Bloomberg GEI framework,” said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg and Founding Chairman of the U.S. 30% Club. “Northern Trust’s GEI inclusion is a strong indicator to its employees, investors and industry peers alike that it is leading by example to advance ongoing efforts for a truly inclusive workplace.”
For inclusion in the index, Northern Trust was recognized for how gender equality is promoted across four areas: company statistics, policies, community engagement, and products and services. Companies that score above a globally-established threshold have achieved best-in-class policies, statistics and transparency.
“Northern Trust is pleased to be recognized on Bloomberg’s GEI for transparency in workforce reporting,” said Connie Lindsey, head of Corporate Social Responsibility and Global Diversity and Inclusion at Northern Trust. “Fostering and supporting a globally diverse and inclusive workforce is a fundamental strength of Northern Trust that helps us succeed as an organization.”
The survey is voluntary and has no associated costs. For more information on the Bloomberg’s GEI, visit: https://www.bloomberg.com/professional/solution/gender-equality-index/.
Northern Trust is consistently recognized as an industry leader and was recently named by Professional WOMAN’s Magazine as a Top Financial & Banking Company, and since 2009 has been named a Top 50 Company for Executive Women by the National Association for Female Executives.
