Annual Report Card on Gender Diversity and Leadership
The Prosperity Project’s™ 2021 Annual Report Card was our country’s starting point, ground zero. It reflects our vision of zero barriers to inclusion. It is a nod to what is known as a result of disclosure by TSX-listed companies and CBCA-governed corporations subject to disclosure requirements. Garnering 68.7 million media impressions, it shone an important light on organizations that are at the forefront of tackling gender, racial and Indigenous diversity in leadership roles through collecting intersectional data.
Our second Annual Report Card on Gender Diversity and Leadership: The Zero Report was published in February 2022 and reached over 84 million individuals on digital and print media. The 2022 Annual Report Card presented the largest-ever look at women's representation – over 21,000 women – at the leadership level of Corporate Canada and presented intersectional data (those who identify as women and who also identify as women of colour, Indigenous, Black, 2SLGBTQIA+, and/or living with disabilities) on women in leadership roles.
The 2023 Annual Report Card will recognize those organizations and CEOs who are leading the way in addressing ESG issues by collecting intersectional data on women’s representation at the leadership level (board, executive officer, senior management and pipeline to senior management roles). We will publish aggregated data only, broken down by sector, in Canada’s largest public companies, private companies, federal and provincial crown corporations, co-operatives and Canadian subsidiaries of foreign-owned corporations.
