Women CEOs emphasised empathy, adaptability, accountability and diversity more frequently than their male peers in public communications during the peak of Covid-19 pandemic, according to a new analysis from S & P Global in collaboration with researchers from the University of Paris. On average, women CEOs scored higher for positive sentiment and used words related to trust more frequently than men. Utilising advanced natural language processing of 4,958 earnings calls conducted from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020, the report represents the results of a joint project between analysts, data scientists and academics affiliated with S & P Global s recently launched Diversity Research Lab and Pantheon-Assas Management Science Research Laboratory (LARGEPA), the management science laboratory within the University of Paris 2 Pantheon-Assas.
