BOSTON, November 15, 2023 – Orbia has been featured on the Forbes list of World’s Top Companies for Women 2023. This prestigious annual award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awardee list was announced on October 31, 2023, and is currently available on the Forbes website.
The World’s Top Companies for Women 2023 list reflects multinational corporations that were evaluated by approximately 70,000 women across 37 countries in multiple globally administered independent surveys. Over 650,000 data points were collected, with the final listing based on the aggregate of three scores:
- Employer Brand Score: Women were asked to assess their employer across general workplace satisfaction metrics as well as their overall willingness to recommend.
- Public Opinion Score: A public opinion survey measured how women perceive companies in terms of gender equality.
- Leadership Score: Objective diversity criteria were gathered via extensive desk research.
“Orbia is honored to be recognized on the Forbes list of the World’s Top Companies for Women 2023. We are driven to create an inclusive environment where all of our employees can make an impact professionally and personally in bringing our purpose to life,” said Deb Butters, Orbia Chief People Officer.
Added Sameer Bharadwaj, Orbia Chief Executive Officer, “As a global company serving global stakeholders, we embrace diversity in all its forms—identity, culture, background, experience, abilities and opinions—because our differences make us stronger and help us to be more responsive to stakeholder needs.”
Butters continued, “In addition to aspiring to year-over-year gains in our percentage of women in management positions, we continue to provide our diverse talent with annual anti-harassment training, inclusive education and programs that help remove barriers and eliminate biases and career development opportunities for all.”
In 2023, Orbia was one of the top 15 Mexican Stock Exchange-listed companies with the greatest number of independent female directors and high-ranking executives, and was recognized by the 50/50 Women on Boards and Women Corporate Directors initiatives.
