Diversity delivers results. Yet representation gaps persist.

Since 2015, corporate America's progress in improving the representation of women and people of color remains flat.

Despite this underrepresentation, companies in the top-quartile for gender diversity on their executive teams were 21% more likely to have above-average profitability than companies in the fourth quartile. For ethnic/cultural diversity, top-quartile companies were 33% more likely to outperform on profitability.
