This prestigious award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list was announced on October 31st, 2023, and can currently be viewed on the Forbes website.
The World’s Top Companies for Women 2023 have been chosen among multi-national corporations that were evaluated in multiple globally administered independent surveys of approximately 70,000 women in 37 countries. Over 650,000 data points were collected. The final analysis is based on three scores:
• Employer Brand Score: Women were asked to rate how their employer performs across a series of gender-related topics. In addition, they were asked to rate their overall willingness to recommend their employer and assess them across other, more general, workplace satisfaction questions. Women were also prompted to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stand out either positively or negatively.
• Public Opinion Score: A women-only public opinion survey measured how women perceive companies in terms of gender equality.
• Leadership Score: Objective criteria (i.e., the presence of a female CEO and the share of board/executive committee positions filled by women) were gathered via extensive desk research.
Based on the results of the study, URBN is ecstatic to be recognized on the Forbes list of the World’s Top Companies for Women 2023.
