Inditex ranks 5th in diversity and inclusion
Spanish multinational clothing group Inditex was named the 5th most diverse and inclusive company by the 2020 Refinitiv Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Index. Gap also made the list, coming in at 94.
The final list of 100 was based on Refinitiv’s assessment of 9,000 publicly listed companies, using metrics across four areas: a diversity score, based on factors such as board cultural diversity, board gender diversity and women managers; an inclusion score, which measured flexible working hours, day care services and employees with disabilities; a people development score, based on career development markers such as internal promotion, management training and employee satisfaction; and a news and controversies score.
The industry with the highest D&I score was software and IT services. The categories that included Inditex (textiles and apparel) and Gap (specialty retailers) comprised a total of 11 companies.
