Key gender data disclosures

Data is a powerful tool to drive impact in our diversity and inclusion work. Being a data-driven company, transparency around data is an important part of our culture. By collecting key gender data we are better equipped to know where we need to focus our efforts and improve. At Oda many of our employees are requesting more data around diversity demographics, something that is pushing us to both disclose and continuously improve in this area. Added to an increased requirement to share data with other stakeholders like investors, suppliers and government, we have gone to great lengths to improve the data systems and processes internally. In the future we hope to collect more data on additional diversity dimensions to better understand our blind spots and where improvements can be made. When pursuing this type of data we also need to ensure that privacy laws and concerns are considered.
