The GEI is a modified market capitalization-weighted index that aims to track the performance of public companies committed to transparency in gender-data reporting.

This year, 418 companies across 11 sectors and 45 countries were included in the list, with Robinsons Retail being one of only four Filipino companies in the 2022 GEI.

These companies meet the criteria set by GEI and have a score above a global threshold established by the firm to reflect a high level of disclosure and overall performance across five dimensions: female leadership & talent pipeline; equal pay and gender pay parity; inclusive culture; anti-sexual harassment policies; and pro-women brand.

“Robinsons Retail values gender diversity within its work culture. We recognize and celebrate the vast contributions made by women within our company, as women comprise the majority of our employee and management base. We are pleased with our inclusion the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, as it is not only an avenue for transparency to our stakeholders, but it is also a tool to further look into our organization and how we create spaces that are genuinely inclusive for all genders,” said Robina Gokongwei Pe, Robinsons Retail President & CEO.

At present, Robinsons Retail’s employee base is composed of 70% women, with female employees fulfilling leadership roles across all levels of management, including the CFO, Corporate Secretary, and Head of Investor Relations.
