“The right thing to do”
I think there is more to it than just economics – financial industries seem to be ahead of the curve when it comes to gender-related anti-discriminatory practices. The CEI index notes that every year, more companies are reaching that 100% mark, and this year, 13 of the top 20 Fortune 500 companies earned that score.

Within that 13 reside Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C), and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM). The criteria for making this grade are rigorous, and the policies in place didn’t materialize overnight, but these three banks were obviously up to the task. As Mr. Dimon opined, “It’s the right thing to do.”
