factors that define diverse and inclusive workplaces

Index as an investment tool
NEW YORK/LONDON, September 26, 2016 - Thomson Reuters today announced the launch
of its new Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) Index. The D&I Index ranks the top 100
publicly traded companies globally with the most diverse and inclusive
workplaces, as measured by 24 metrics across four key categories: Diversity,
Inclusion, People Development and News Controversies. The Index is then
calculated by weighing each metric based on importance in the market and how
each company compares with its peers. The D&I Index is available on Thomson
Reuters Eikon, as are the underlying diversity and inclusion metrics, which can
be used to gain insight and help financial professionals screen companies for
long-term opportunities and risks in their investments.
The launch of the D&I Index reinforces Thomson Reuters vision of delivering
news, information and analytics to the global financial and corporate
communities. The index ratings are supported by Thomson Reuters environmental,
social, and governance (ESG) data, designed to transparently and objectively
measure the relative performance of over 5,000 companies and provide clients
with differentiated insight. Index scores are calculated for each company for
the Diversity, Inclusion, People Development and News Controversy pillars. Only
companies with scores across all four pillars are assigned an overall score (the
average of the pillar scores). The top 100 ranked companies with the best
overall scores are selected for the Index.
"We are in the midst of an historical shift in perspective that is affecting
companies across the world and across industry boundaries. Diversity is becoming
a performance issue, a growth engine," said Debra Walton, chief product &
content officer, Financial & Risk, Thomson Reuters. "Our research shows that
companies that make investments and focus on ESG matters can have a stronger
stock performance and better long-term profitability. For investors, looking
beyond financial data is becoming more important. We are delighted to be able to
provide our global clients with access to this important data and information
through our Diversity and Inclusion Index and metrics, thereby helping to enable
them to make better investment and socially responsible decisions."
Will Jan, vice president & lead analyst at Outsell commented, "In an
increasingly globalized business environment, diversity and inclusion is more
critical than ever. Having access to such information to drive responsible
decisions is a natural next step in the evolution of financial services."
"Diversity and inclusion is a fundamental part of our heritage," said Patsy
Doerr, global head of corporate responsibility and inclusion at Thomson Reuters.
"Not only is diversity and inclusion a strategic objective for Thomson Reuters
internally, it also represents another step forward in our commitment to partner
with clients to develop best practices in this space. Diversity and inclusion
mean fostering a culture where diversity of thought, style, experience and
approach is valued and nurtured so innovation can thrive. The business case is
clear; in order to attract and retain top talent, this must be a top priority.
This new D&I Index demonstrates our central values in action."
