Several leading companies in the global household and personal products industry are among the 230 companies selected for the 2019 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) which distinguishes companies committed to transparency in gender reporting and advancing women’s equality. The index doubled in size from 2018 and includes firms from 10 sectors headquartered across 36 countries and regions. Collectively, these firms have a combined market capitalization of $9 trillion and employ more than 15 million people, of which 7 million are women, around the world. Thirteen markets are represented for the first time this year and include Argentina, China, Israel and South Africa.


Companies in our industry include Avon, Clorox, Estee Lauder, Kao, L'Oréal, Procter & Gamble and Unilever.

Executives from selected companies were obviously thrilled to make the list.


“We are honored that The Estée Lauder Companies has been included in the 2019 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index. As a values-driven company, inclusion and diversity are part of the fabric of who we are, and our practices reflect our unwavering commitment to supporting and celebrating the individuality of every employee,” said William P. Lauder, executive chairman, ELC. “We are proud to be part of such an important conversation driving transparency, progress and action around gender equality and respect for every individual.”

The Bloomberg gender reporting framework is voluntary and has no associated costs. The GEI is a reference index. All public companies can submit data to Bloomberg. Those with a security listed on a U.S. exchange and a market capitalization of USD1 billion or greater are eligible for index inclusion.

Bloomberg’s standardized reporting framework offers public companies the opportunity to disclose information on how they promote gender equality across four separate areas – company statistics, policies, community engagement and products and services. Reporting companies that score above a globally-established threshold, based on the extent of disclosures and the achievement of best-in-class statistics and policies, are included in the GEI.
