Women who identify as Black or Indigenous are absent in the pipeline to Canada’s C-Suite First annual report card on gender diversity and leadership reveals Corporate Canada still has much work to do February 23, 2021 07:36 ET | Source: The Prosperity Project The Prosperity Project Toronto, CANADA TORONTO, Feb. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A ground-breaking national study finds there is a glacial pace of progress towards gender and racial equity at the leadership level of Canadian organizations because there are few racialized and Indigenous women in the pipeline to C-suite jobs. The 2021 Annual Report Card on Gender Diversity and Leadership: The Zero Report, co-presented by KPMG in Canada, surveyed 48 of Canada’s largest organizations in late 2020. Each organization collected and shared race-based data with The Prosperity Project. The results show 89 per cent of surveyed organizations have zero black women in the pipeline to the leadership level and 91 per cent have zero Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit and Métis) women.
