Australian Businesses Best in World for Gender Equality

The top 100 companies in the world for gender equality have been revealed by Equileap , a leading data and insights organisation.

The international study evaluated 3,500 companies on 19 different gender equality criteria to establish the ranking. These benchmarks included gender ratio among all levels of the business, including leadership, equal pay and shared parental leave policy.

25 of the top 100 companies were located in Australia, including half of the top 10 companies, more than any other country.

The five Australian businesses in the top 10 were Mirvac, Telstra, Stockland, Origin Energy and Medibank.

Australian companies in the top 100 were Westpac, NAB, BHP, ASX, Suncorp, Transurban, Caltex, Commbank, Lendlease, AGL Energy, Fortescue, Qantas, ANZ, GPT, South32, REA Group, Challenger, Coca Cola Amatil, Dexus, Vicinity Centre.

Equileap said: “ Australian companies have consistently climbed in the Equileap rankings over the past few years and are now taking half of the top 10 spots. This can be credited to mandatory annual reporting on corporate gender equality and thorough gender audits facilitated by the Australian Government”.
