Bloomberg Equality Summit New York 2018 | Bloomberg Media | 8 May 2018 | TBD, New York

Equality is the single most important ethical issue businesses today need to face head-on. Creating and maintaining a diverse and inclusive workforce – to serve an increasingly diverse consumer base – is also vital to the success of virtually every business operating today.

Complementing Bloomberg LP’s investment in creating the Gender Equality Index (GEI) – a tool that tracks key elements of gender and equality balance, allowing companies to drive accountability around diversity initiatives – Bloomberg Equality is a cross-platform editorial initiative that provides a platform to discuss what is at stake for the economy and for businesses large and small.

Anchored in a full-day event, Bloomberg Equality will cultivate forward-looking conversations across media platforms, shining a spotlight on leaders across businesses and global economies paving the way, and delivering an effective platform for real solutions to come to life.
