Through disclosure of gender-related metrics using the GEI framework, the firms included in the 2021 GEI have committed to providing a comprehensive look at their investment in workplace gender equality and the communities in which they operate, raising the bar of what should be expected from other companies within the same industry. The inclusion of Atlantica in this year's index, reflects its high level of disclosure and overall performance across the framework's five dimensions.
