FedEx has been honored as a 2024 "Top Company for Women to Work in Transportation" by Redefining the Road, the official magazine of the Women In Trucking Association (WIT). WIT’s mission focuses on increasing women's participation in the trucking industry, celebrating their achievements, and addressing the challenges they encounter.

"FedEx, built on a foundation of people and service, is proud to support a diverse workforce that includes extraordinary women across a range of roles—drivers, freight handlers, leadership, and beyond," said Tracy Brightman, Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer at FedEx Corp. "Our commitment to gender diversity and equality is reflected in our investments in people, DEI&O programs, development initiatives, and policies that prioritize merit-based hiring and promotions."

The selection process for this recognition involves two stages. Companies are first nominated and assessed to meet specific qualifications, followed by industry-wide voting to finalize the list. Each year, WIT also highlights the “Elite 30” companies that receive the most votes, with FedEx earning a place among this prestigious group.

According to Brian Everett, Group Publisher and Editorial Director of Redefining the Road, companies on this list stand out for their commitment to fostering gender diversity, offering competitive pay and benefits, providing flexible work arrangements, and creating opportunities for professional growth and career advancement.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
DEI principles are central to our sustainability agenda. By integrating DEI into our sustainability initiatives, we create a comprehensive approach that addresses both environmental and societal challenges, guiding us toward a future that is fair and sustainable for all. This is reflected in our commitment to social sustainability, particularly our dedication to the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 5. Additionally, diverse and inclusive teams drive innovation, helping us achieve broader sustainability objectives, such as the development of low-carbon materials.
 
Embracing DEI is not only the ethical choice but also a strategic one. It's a reflection of who we are as a company and who we aspire to be.

Keysight Technologies, Inc, a leading technology company that provides advanced design and validation solutions to help accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, has been named to the 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI), a modified market capitalization-weighted index developed to measure the performance of public companies dedicated to reporting gender-related data. This reference index assesses gender equality in five areas: leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity, inclusive culture, anti-sexual harassment policies, and external brand.

For the first time, the 2023 GEI reaches globally to represent 45 countries and regions, including firms headquartered in Luxembourg, Ecuador, and Kuwait. Member companies come from a variety of industries, including finance, technology, and utilities, which will continue to have the most company representation in the index starting in 2022.

The inclusion of Keysight in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index demonstrates the company's long-standing commitment to creating a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace, supporting the initiatives outlined in the company's most recent Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Report.

“Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is part of Keysight’s business strategy and is critical to enabling our customers and accelerating innovation,” said Satish Dhanasekaran, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Keysight will continue to prioritize transparency in our hiring practices, pay equity, leadership diversity, and employee support. We are honored to be among this prestigious group of global organizations leading the way toward a more equitable future for all.”

"Congratulations to the companies that are included in the 2023 GEI," said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg and Founding Chairman of the U.S. 30% Club. "We continue to see an increase in both interest and membership globally, reflecting a shared goal of transparency in gender-related metrics.”

Bloomberg collaborated with subject matter experts around the world to create a social survey, which Keysight Technologies submitted. Those included in this year's index achieved or adopted best-in-class statistics and policies and scored at or above a global threshold established by Bloomberg to reflect disclosure.

Both the survey and the GEI are completely free of charge. Bloomberg gathered this information solely for research purposes. The index does not have a ranking. While all publicly traded companies are encouraged to disclose supplemental gender data for their investment profile on the Bloomberg Terminal, only those with a market capitalization of USD1 billion are eligible for inclusion in the Index.
