‘Firms withhold key gender metrics’
Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has mandated that companies disclose their gender-disaggregated data. This data would serve as a reliable basis for decisions to be made and policies to be framed to address gender-specific inequalities. Reportedly, only 50% of the NSE listed companies have disclosed the gender-disaggregated data.
“Of the 2,624 NSE listed companies, only 1,380 of them have reported about gender representation,” says Pooja Sharma Goyal founding CEO of Udaiti Foundation which works towards ensuring gender balance and diversity in workplaces. “Greater transparency will reveal where women are being allowed to enter, where they are being held back, and the structural reasons behind it.”
