HSG Diversity Benchmarking

HSG Diversity Benchmarking – Your strategic DE&I measurement

HSG Diversity Benchmarking is Switzerland’s largest benchmark in the field of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I). Our approach combines academic excellence with practical application – making diversity, equity and inclusion measurable.

With HSG Diversity Benchmarking, your organization gains a strategic steering tool that identifies key areas for action and delivers insights that matter to your stakeholders. Employees expect fair opportunities, customers and partners value diversity and purpose, investors demand transparency, and the public looks for sustainable corporate governance. Our benchmarking provides clarity, ESG-relevant indicators, and demonstrates your organization’s commitment to accountability and responsibility.

Data processing & requirements

To ensure secure data transfer, we will set up an account for you (or the person responsible for providing the data) on the University of St.Gallen SharePoint, where you can upload the data. You will receive an email with the link to your individual folder and further instructions as soon as the data transfer is ready.

Once you have provided us with your company's data, we will review it for inconsistencies with the data requirements and/or previous years. Once the data check is complete, the analyses will be performed and uploaded to your dashboard. We will only upload your company's KPI results - no raw data will be uploaded. In addition, only anonymised results will be provided, i.e. your organisation's name, which identifies the KPI charts, will only be visible to you.
