Gender equality disclosure metrics: Analysis of standards with guidance for reducing inconsistencies

This SSE Market Monitor provides an analysis of the gender equality disclosure metrics recommended by stock exchanges and corporate reporting standard setters (Part 1). 

This analysis includes a benchmark of these metrics against the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs). The resulting data reveals some gaps in subject matter coverage (compared to the WEPs) and inconsistencies in the metrics recommended. 

Part 2 of this report, based on roundtable discussions with standard-setters and other institutions provides recommendations for improvements to the quality and scope of gender equality disclosure metrics.
