TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ICL (NYSE: ICL) (TASE: ICL), a leading global specialty minerals company, today announced it has been included in Bloomberg’s 2023 Gender-Equality Index (GEI). The GEI aims to track the performance of public companies committed to transparency in gender-data reporting and measures gender equality across five pillars: leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity, inclusive culture, anti-sexual harassment policies, and external brand.
“We’re pleased to be one of the 484 companies across 45 countries and regions included in Bloomberg’s 2023 Gender-Equality Index and to provide greater disclosures around our gender-related practices and policies for our investors and other stakeholders,” said Ilana Fahima, chief people officer for ICL. “ICL is committed to equality at all of our facilities worldwide.

We are proud to be a company, which puts our employees first and has a strong commitment to developing a diverse and inclusive workforce.”
The GEI brings transparency to gender-related practices and policies at publicly listed companies. As investor demand for ESG data increases, the GEI represents an important opportunity for companies to appeal to today's workforce, as well as broaden their investor bases.
This year's findings provide insights and rich analysis of all gender-related data across sectors, regions, countries, leadership levels, pay and more. People are increasingly aware of the importance of setting the tone from the top. More than 60% of the 2023 GEI member companies have 30% or more women board members, and this includes ICL.
