Equal Employment Opportunity Commission report
MSCI’s Consolidated EEO-1 report is a snapshot in time of our U.S. workforce and is based on specific job categories prescribed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). We note, however, that MSCI is a U.S.-headquartered global company with a significant majority of its workforce based outside the U.S. Private-sector employers with 100 or more employees and some federal contractors are required to submit demographic workforce data to the EEOC, including by race/ethnicity, sex and job categories. While a single chart cannot capture the diversity of MSCI’s workforce, investors can explore this standardized report to learn about our U.S.-based employees. More information about the diversity of our global workforce can be found here.
