Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) measures address the importance of emphasising and prioritising these values in the workplace. The significance of these concerns are addressed in SDG Goal 5: Gender Equality and Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities. The impact of a greater focus on DEI in companies allows benefits to flow back through to society as greater equity promotes social stability and supports further economic growth. The disclosures included address the company’s approach to diversity and equal opportunity at work, providing for a quantitative measure of diversity within a company. This can be used in conjunction with sectoral or regional benchmarks. In addition, comparisons between broad employee diversity and management team diversity offer information on equal opportunity. When a company actively promotes diversity and equality at work it can generate significant benefits for both the company and workers. By doing so, the company can gain access to a larger talent pool, a diverse set of potential workers, break down barriers and improve creativity within the company.
