Horace Mann recognized by the Bloomberg GEI for
third straight year
Horace Mann Educators Corporation (NYSE:HMN) today announced it
is one of 380 companies across 11 sectors included in the 2021
Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI), which recognizes corporate
commitment to transparency in gender reporting and advancing
women’s equality. The GEI expanded in 2021 to represent 44
countries and regions and includes companies in a variety of
industries, including automotive, banking, consumer services,
engineering and construction, and retail.
“At Horace Mann we are committed to diversity, equity and
inclusion,” said Horace Mann President and CEO Marita Zuraitis. “To
be included for the third year in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality
Index recognizes our efforts to strengthen our inclusive culture.
We continue to reach beyond gender equity, working to diversify our
workforce on all fronts through employee training, hiring and
promotion practices to enhance and further strengthen our distinct
corporate culture and brand.”
The GEI brings transparency to gender-related practices and
policies at publicly listed companies increasing the breadth of
environmental, social, governance (ESG) data available to
investors. The comprehensive, transparent GEI scoring methodology
allows investors to assess company performance and compare across
industry peer groups.
The reference index measures gender equality across five
pillars: female leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and
gender pay parity, inclusive culture, sexual harassment policies,
and pro-women brand.
The 2020 GEI included 325 companies headquartered across 42
countries and regions. Horace Mann Educators Corporation was also
included in the 2019 and 2020 GEI.
Through disclosure of gender-related metrics using the GEI
framework, the firms included in the 2021 GEI have committed to
provide a comprehensive look at their investment in workplace
gender equality and the communities in which they operate, raising
the bar of what should be expected from other companies within the
same industry. Horace Mann Educators Corporation was included in
this year’s index for scoring at or above a global threshold
established by Bloomberg to reflect a high level of disclosure and
overall performance across the framework’s five pillars.
Both the framework and the GEI are voluntary and have no
associated costs. The GEI is a reference index and is not for use
as a financial benchmark. The index is not ranked. While all public
companies are encouraged to disclose supplemental gender data for
their company’s investment profile on the Bloomberg Terminal, those
that have a market capitalization of at least $1 billion are
eligible for inclusion in the index. To learn more please visit the
GEI website. Bloomberg Terminal subscribers can access the GEI at
