Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index Member
BAE Systems joins 484 other companies as a member of the 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI), which is developed to gauge the performance of public companies dedicated to reporting gender-related data. The GEI measures gender equality across five pillars: leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity, inclusive culture, anti-sexual harassment policies, and external brand. Companies on the 2023 GEI represent 45 countries and regions and a variety of sectors, including financials, technology and utilities.
BAE Systems is aware of a suspected online scam involving a company branded sustainability website and associated phishing emails under the subject “BAE Systems Sustainability”.
