In 2021, the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) published our first Gender Benchmark, assessing 35 companies in the apparel sector. This year, we expanded our scope by assessing 1,006 companies that span 10 industries and more than 80 countries around the world on their efforts to promote gender equality. Additionally, our Gender Benchmark takes a deeper dive into 112 companies across two sectors where women make up around 40 to 60 percent of the supply chain workforce: apparel and food and agriculture. This dual approach of scale and depth in our assessment allows us to gain a greater understanding of how the private sector is doing to advance gender equality.
