彭博社性别平等指数（GEI）将尼尔森评为通过测量和透明度提高妇女地位的230家全球领先企业之一。2019年彭博性别平等指数对致力于性别报告透明度和促进妇女平等的公司进行了评选。作为一个整体，该指数所代表的公司总市值达9万亿美元，在全球范围内雇佣了1500多万员工，其中700万为女性。
“We’re thrilled to be included in Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index,” said Crystal Barnes, SVP of Global Responsibility & Sustainability, Nielsen. “The importance of representation, diversity and inclusion to our growth and long term success are undeniable. They are core to our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy and sustainable business plan. At Nielsen, our ability to deliver on that strategy is grounded in transparency and continuous improvement. Being recognized in a group of companies leading by example in this space is truly an honor.”
彭博全球性别平等指数的标准化报告框架为上市公司提供了一个机会，使其能够自愿披露其如何在公司统计数据、政策、社区参与以及产品和服务四个不同领域促进性别平等的信息。根据披露程度以及最佳统计数据和政策的实现情况，报告公司的得分如果超过全球设定的阈值，就会被纳入性别平等指数。过去几年，随着越来越多的投资者希望将环境、社会和治理（ESG）数据纳入其投资决策，对使用环境、社会和治理（ESG）数据的产品和服务的需求显著增加。不过，目前只有 10% 的合格公司披露了其工作场所性别政策和实践。
“We have long believed that diversity and inclusion are business imperatives,” said Angela Talton, Chief Diversity Officer, Nielsen. “Nielsen’s business is predicated upon people—their preferences, choices and behaviors. Recognizing the global population shift and a need for a diverse workforce which understands diverse consumers, their preferences and behaviors, Nielsen’s D&I strategy is designed to connect these dots while providing clients with relevant insights to help grow their business in this changing environment.”
“From hiring, developing and retaining top talent to sharing our insights through Diverse Intelligence Series Reports and Events highlighting the unique viewing and purchasing habits of diverse consumers, at Nielsen, we realize diversity is not about having a seat at the table but having a voice at the table and making sure that voice is being heard,” Angela continued. “Our investments in diverse talent and programming––across our five-pronged strategy of leadership accountability, career development, retention, supplier diversity and education––advance our ability to help clients anticipate and respond to those shifts. We are actively working to create and maintain a workforce that is reflective of the communities where we live and serve, as we recognize that each of the 100-plus countries where we operate may have different definitions of what a diverse workforce looks like.”
