The Bank of Montreal (BMO), Sun Life Financial and Enbridge are among the 100 most diverse and inclusive organizations globally, as ranked by Thomson Reuters’ Diversity & Inclusion Index.

Thomson Reuters, publisher of Canadian HR Reporter, is also on the list.

Launched in 2016, the index ranks the top 100 publicly traded companies globally with the most diverse and inclusive workplaces, as measured by 24 metrics across four key categories: diversity, inclusion, people development and news controversies. The index is then calculated by weighing each metric based on importance in the market and how each company compares with its peers.

“At Thomson Reuters, we understand that focusing on total societal impact is fundamental to driving long-term financial success,” said Patsy Doerr, global head of corporate responsibility and inclusion at Thomson Reuters. “Creating the workforce of the future means building diverse teams which attract the best and brightest from around the world.”
