Footnote
This metric is intended to capture the percentage of company shares that are owned by women or gender non-binary individuals. Where regional or local laws apply for calculating ownership by historically marginalized groups (including women and gender non-binary individuals), reporting should be consistent with these laws. Where laws do not exist, shares that are publicly traded or owned by institutions cannot contribute to the number of female- or gender non-binary-owned shares.
