Abstract
In this paper, we address the problem of the ranking of companies based
on their diversity and financial performance. The addressed problem is a
multiple criteria decision-making problem where a composite measure
needs to be obtained to rank firms. Taking as a reference the
methodological approach followed by Refinitiv in the construction of
their Diversity and Inclusion Index, we propose an alternative ranking
framework that overcomes some of the problems identified in the
methodological approach of Refinitiv. In particular, the proposed method
in this work does not require the a priori establishment of a
weighting scheme and is able to incorporate the past behavior of the
companies in terms of diversity in their workplaces.
