“I am proud to provide clarity into sustainable investment on a global scale. It is a privilege to be the woman who created the Women’s Index – Germany. The index universe includes 500 companies across industries from Tupperware and beauty to construction, defence, finance and technology. It is wonderful to see so many leading companies from around the world demonstrating gender diversity.“
The Women’s Index – Germany recognises leading companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange that demonstrate gender diversity according to methodology developed by Connie L. Picos (Pikos) in 2014. The index includes many of the world’s greatest companies and the world’s greatest leaders. For example, Uber, Rolls Royce, Facebook and Volkswagen are included. Ethical filters were applied to exclude companies that do not meet universal ethical investment standards.
The Women’s Index – Germany provides an independent broad market benchmark and powers sustainable investment by providing exposure to companies demonstrating diversity.
