Collecting data to progress EDI initiatives

As stakeholders take more of an interest in equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) initiatives, it’s become increasingly important that board directors remain accountable and ensure proper strategies are in place.

Reflecting on this increased attention to EDI, the March/April edition of the Director Journal’s column Directors’ Dilemma poses the question: “What information should my board be collecting on our organization’s diversity, equity and inclusion efforts?”

In the article, partner and co-head of the firm’s Capital Markets practice Rima Ramchandani notes that until recently the focus has been on the representation of women on boards and senior management.

“However, that conversation has quickly expanded beyond female representation, and turned to a broader focus on equity-deserving groups,” Rima said.

She added that while representation in the C-suite will continue to garner attention, boards should have a clear understanding of what organization-wide demographic data is available and being monitored.
