Sustainalytics has published a new ESG Spotlight Series report, Race, Ethnicity and Public Equity: A Global Snapshot, which presents an analysis of racial and ethnic issues linked to listed companies’ operations, supply chains and the societal impacts of their business activities. Our research finds that although a growing number of firms are disclosing diversity and anti-discrimination initiatives, management gaps persist and related controversies are on the rise.
While investors can assess companies’ preparedness to manage diversity and anti-discrimination initiatives, our findings suggest that companies need to be more proactive in managing the initiatives that they have in place to mitigate controversies related to race and ethnicity.
