The CS Gender 3000 in 2021: Broadening the diversity discussion

This gender diversity in the workplace research specifically focuses on corporate leadership and oversight. We have sought to track developing trends in diversity in both company boards and management leadership teams and, importantly, their relevance for corporate performance. With the benefit of our global research platform, we have been able to conduct such an analysis with unique breadth and depth, establishing the Credit Suisse Gender 3000, a global lens to examine gender diversity across the corporate sector. In our 2021 edition, we reviewed and updated our universe of companies and analyzed the progress made to improve gender diversity.
