UBS included in Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index for eighth consecutive year

Zurich, February 2, 2023 – UBS today announced that for the eighth consecutive year, the firm has been included in the 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, a modified market capitalization-weighted index that aims to track the performance of public companies committed to transparency in gender-data reporting. The index includes 483 companies and measures gender equality across five pillars: leadership & talent pipeline, equal pay & gender pay parity, inclusive culture, anti-sexual harassment policies, and external brand.

The 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index represents 45 countries and regions, including firms headquartered in Luxembourg, Ecuador, and Kuwait for the first time. Member companies represent a variety of sectors, including financials, technology, and utilities, which continue to have the highest company representation in the index.

“We continue to participate in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for the eighth consecutive year to hold ourselves accountable and to uphold industry best practices for supporting female talent. We are honoured to be recognized once again for our efforts to create a culture of belonging at the firm, and in particular, for our gender inclusive practices,” said Cicilia Wan, Global head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at UBS.

About the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index

To be considered for the index (which is not ranked), firms submit a social survey created by Bloomberg, in collaboration with subject matter experts globally. Those included on this year’s index scored at or above a global threshold established by Bloomberg to reflect disclosure and the achievement or adoption of best-in-class statistics and policies. Both the survey and the GEI are voluntary and have no associated costs. Bloomberg collected this data for reference purposes only. The index is not ranked. While all public companies are encouraged to disclose supplemental gender data for their company’s investment profile on the Bloomberg Terminal®, those that have a market capitalization of USD1 billion are eligible for inclusion in the Index.
