Where and how do you source your data?

Equileap has implemented a clearly documented, rules-based data collection and assessment process. The Equileap research team conducts its research by assessing publicly available information such as corporate sustainability reports, annual reports, filings, company websites, etc. The team also tracks gender-related controversies. Assessments undergo a rigorous quality assurance process, including peer review.
