AUBURN HILLS, Mich. , Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BorgWarner Inc. today announced that it is one of 380 companies across 11 sectors included in the 2021 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI).

Companies range from a variety of industries, including automotive, banking, consumer services, engineering and construction, and retail.

"We are proud of the significant headway we have made to ensure we're cultivating a diverse, unbiased workforce, and honored to once again be included in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index among so many other highly respected companies," said Felecia Pryor , Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, BorgWarner Inc. "We are not finished in our pursuit of a workplace that embraces gender equality. At BorgWarner, we have the passion, drive and energy to continue diversifying our talent pool and nurture an inclusive culture that affords everyone equal opportunity to grow and thrive."

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. BorgWarner Inc. was also included in the 2020 GEI.

"The companies included in the 2021 GEI are expanding the ESG data universe to include gender-related data that investors are demanding today," said Peter T. Grauer , Chairman of Bloomberg. "Their commitment to disclosure is making the business case for inclusion, and driving transparency in the markets."

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. BorgWarner Inc. 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 USD1 billion are eligible for inclusion in the index.
