The Annual Report Card on Gender Equity and Leadership (ARC) surveys some of Canada’s top 500 companies by revenue to determine women’s standing at four levels of leadership. It is the only report that assesses Canadian data from Corporate Director to Pipeline to Leadership roles that takes an intersectional lens. This provides a unique view of progress towards advancement for women from diverse backgrounds.

2021 Annual Report Card

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.
