Essex Included in 2022 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index
San Mateo, California – January 27, 2022 – Essex Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:ESS) announced today that
it is one of 418 companies across 45 countries and regions to join the 2022 Bloomberg Gender-Equality
Index (GEI), a modified market capitalization-weighted index that aims to track the performance of
public companies committed to transparency in gender-data reporting. This reference index measures
gender equality across five pillars: female leadership & talent pipeline, equal pay & gender pay parity,
inclusive culture, anti-sexual harassment policies, and pro-women brand.
“We are pleased that our practice in gender equality and diversity is being recognized with the inclusion
in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index,” commented Michael J. Schall, President and CEO of the
Company.
“We are proud to recognize Essex Property Trust, Inc. and the other 417 companies included in the 2022
GEI for their commitment to transparency and setting a new standard in gender-related data reporting,”
said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg and Founding Chairman of the U.S. 30% Club. “Even
though the threshold for inclusion in the GEI has risen, the member list continues to grow. This is a
testament that more companies are working to improve upon their gender-related metrics, fostering more
opportunity for diverse talent to succeed in their organizations.”
Essex Property Trust, Inc. submitted a social survey created by Bloomberg, in collaboration with subject
matter experts globally. Those included on this year’s index scored at or above a global threshold
established by Bloomberg to reflect disclosure and the achievement or adoption of best-in-class statistics
and policies.
Both the survey and the GEI are voluntary and have no associated costs. For more information on the GEI
