Respondents were asked to rate their organizations on criteria such as age, gender, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation equality, and general diversity. Respondents from underrepresented groups were also asked to nominate organizations other than their own. In the evaluation, Statista also considered diversity among top executives/board and other publicly available diversity indicators and reports.
