Horace Mann selected for 2019 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, recognizing commitment to advancing women in the workplaceHorace Mann today announced it is one of 230 companies selected for the 2019 Bloomberg (News - Alert) 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 USD 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. "Our customers, K-12 educators, are diverse and we want an organization that reflects that same diversity," said Marita Zuraitis, Horace Mann President and CEO. "Greater diversity leads to better ideas and results, and is simply the right thing to do. We appreciate this recognition from Bloomberg." 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. "We applaud Horace Mann and the other 229 firms tracked by the index for their action to measure gender equality through the Bloomberg GEI framework," said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg and Founding Chairman of the U.S. 30% Club. "Horace Mann's GEI inclusion is a strong indicator to its employees, investors and industry peers alike that it is leading by example to advance ongoing efforts for a truly inclusive workplace."
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 USD 1 billion or greater are
eligible for index inclusion. For more information on the GEI and how to
submit information for next year's index visit: Bloomberg subscribers can access the GEI at {BGEI Index DES <GO>}. Terminal users will have access to the fully updated index on Friday, January 18, 2019. Companies included in the 2019 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index:
