Gender Benchmark Methodology Report

From the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA). This report presents the methodology of the Gender Benchmark, an in-depth evaluation of companies on gender equality and women’s empowerment. The first public ranking of companies, as well as the results from the first application of this methodology, will be published in September 2020 and will present how the apparel industry’s most influential companies address gender equality and women’s empowerment. Ultimately, the Gender Benchmark will enable all stakeholders, from consumers and investors to employees and business leaders beyond the apparel sector, to make informed decisions and encourage stronger corporate impact on gender equality and women’s empowerment.
