Guide encourages transparency about diversity in companies

A topic that is growing on the strategic agenda and contributes to the journey of organizations' reputation, diversity still lacks transparency and systematization of data in companies. To contribute to information mapping initiatives, the Financial Education Laboratory (Lab) launched the Guide for Transparency in Diversity in Brazilian Companies, in partnership with Anbima and Goldenberg Diversidade & Inclusion.

The work is the result of reflections from participants in the financial and capital markets, as well as publicly traded companies. Practical and guiding, it brings the main topics related to diversity, pointing out positive aspects to ways to carry out research in companies, considering points such as regulation, information privacy and international trends.

As disclosed in a statement, in addition to collaborating with actions that result in the evolution of current diversity indicators in the Brazilian market, the LAB also hopes to facilitate companies' compliance with CVM Resolution 59, of the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), in force since the beginning of this year.

“Companies with diverse teams, reflecting market diversity, better understand customer needs, increasing the quality of services and products and increasing market share.”
