“Diversity drives innovation. When we limit who can contribute
we limit what problems we can solve.”

Half a dozen global studies, conducted by the likes of Goldman Sachs and Columbia University, have found that companies employing women in large numbers outperform their competitors on every measure of profitability. According to Credit Suisse Research Institute, companies with at least some female for-profit board representation outperformed those with no women on the board in terms of share price performance.

Women represent a small part of the executive landscape, but given the opportunity, they will lead a company to profitability. In addition:

Diverse organizations are more successful at recruiting and retaining talent
Diversity is key to better decision-making among teams leveraging a greater variety of perspectives.
There's an increase in organizational innovation, team performance, and revenue.
Inclusive business cultures improve their reputations with consumers and employees.
Studies link diversity to indicators of profitability.
