Israel Chemicals Ltd (ICL) has become the country's first company and the first in its sector to be included in the prestigious Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) for 2019. First published last year, the GEI spotlights firms that demonstrate transparency in reporting gender practices and policies, and that support equality for women. Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg, stated, "We applaud ICL and the other firms tracked by the index for their action to measure gender equality through the Bloomberg GEI framework. ICL increased the number of female executive officers from 11% in 2017 to 33% a year later. The Israeli chemical giant is one of only two companies on the list - along with Dow Chemical Co (DD) - which have not yet made their annual reports available online.
