For the first time, Thomson Reuters has released data on employee racial and ethnic diversity and the company is expanding the number of countries where employee self-identification is possible. Additionally, Reuters News published its first global newsroom diversity report. The company has also set new goals to increase diversity in its senior leadership by 2022, including 45% or more women, 20% or more racial and ethnic representation, and a doubling of Black representation. In 2020, the company was ranked in the Top 50 on Refinitiv’s D&I Index, listed as one of America’s Best Employers for Diversity by Forbes and, for the ninth consecutive year, scored 100% in the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

“At Thomson Reuters, we have made fostering an inclusive culture of world-class talent one of our top three global priorities,” said Steve Hasker<\/span>, President and CEO of Thomson Reuters. “Recently, we joined Measure Up, an initiative to encourage companies to self-report their racial and ethnic diversity data. While we have made some progress, we know that we still have much more to do.”\u00a0 <\/p>\n

“Diversity and inclusion are just one element of our social impact work, however. Our people and our customers increasingly look to us for leadership and action,” said Hasker.\u00a0“Our products, partnerships and people help to uphold the rule of law, turn the wheels of commerce, catch bad actors, report the facts and inform and educate people, companies and communities globally. From partnering with the world’s largest media and technology companies to combat misinformation, to supporting initiatives to stop human trafficking, the work we do strengthens society.”\u00a0 <\/p>\n
