Description of Indicator

Why is it Important?
Diverse leadership opportunities play a significant role in business wealth creation and accumulation and can help address the racial wealth gap in the United States as well as stimulating the economy more broadly. In addition, diversity across leadership helps to drive innovation, can increase productivity, and improves company culture.
