Aggregate Overall DEI Score Trends

Each score is a weighted average of a company's performance across more than 70 DEI-related metrics (each of which is percentile-normalised over the full dataset). A score of 0 indicates no DEI-relevant statements. A score of 100 would indicate that that company performed best in every one of the individual metrics.

Deviation from Baseline (50)

Same Overall DEI Score values expressed as ± relative to the midpoint of 50. Positive values indicate scores above 50; negative values indicate scores below 50. The zero-line represents the midpoint score of 50.
