McKinsey – Delivering Through Diversity
Vivian Hunt, Lareina Yee, Sara Prince, and Sundiatu Dixon-Fyle, McKinsey & Company, January 2018
McKinsey’s analysis of more than 1,000 companies in 12 countries reinforces the link between diversity and company financial performance. They found that gender diversity on executive teams is strongly correlated with profitability and value creation: “top-quartile companies on executive-level gender diversity worldwide had a 21 percent likelihood of outperforming their fourth-quartile industry peers on earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin, and they also had a 27 percent likelihood of outperforming fourth-quartile peers on longer-term value creation, as measured using an economic-profit (EP) margin.”
