CALGARY,
AB, Jan. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Frontera
Energy Corporation (TSX: FEC) ("Frontera"' or the
"Company") today announces that it joins 483 other companies
as a member of the 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index
("GEI"), a modified market capitalization-weighted index
developed to gauge the performance of public companies dedicated to
reporting gender-related data. This reference index measures gender
equality across five pillars: leadership & talent pipeline,
equal pay & gender pay parity, inclusive culture, anti-sexual
harassment policies, and external brand.
In addition to its inclusion in the GEI, Frontera also announces
its recent recognition as a Top 20 Best Places to Work in
Colombia by the Great Place to
Work® Institute ("GPTW"), its achievement of ISO
certification for its operations in Ecuador and its recognition for operations
safety.
The 2023 GEI reaches globally to represent 45 countries and
regions, including firms headquartered in Luxembourg, Ecuador, and Kuwait for the first time. Member companies
represent a variety of sectors, including the financial,
technology, and utilities sectors, which continue to have the
highest company representation in the index from 2022.
"We are convinced that gender equality makes us stronger and
is essential to be an excellent place to work, as well as a
benchmark in the sector. For this reason, this recognition is the
result of a real and permanent effort to be a company in which
inclusion and diversity is our guide,"said Orlando Cabrales, Chief Executive Officer,
Frontera. "I'm equally proud of Frontera's recognition as a top 20
best places to work in Colombia,
and our ISO certifications, which are a result of the tremendous
dedication of our employees and the organizational importance we
place on our environmental, social and governance actions."
"Congratulations to the companies that are included in the
2023 GEI," said Peter T. Grauer,
Chairman of Bloomberg and Founding Chairman of the U.S. 30% Club.
"We continue to see an increase in both interest and membership
globally, reflecting a shared goal of transparency in
gender-related metrics."
Frontera submitted a social survey created by Bloomberg, in
collaboration with subject matter experts globally. Those included
on this year's index scored at or above a global threshold
established by Bloomberg to reflect disclosure and the achievement
or adoption of best-in-class statistics and policies.
Both the survey and the GEI are voluntary and have no associated
costs. Bloomberg collected this data for reference purposes only.
The index is not ranked. While all public companies are encouraged
to disclose supplemental gender data for their company's investment
profile on the Bloomberg Terminal, those that have a market
capitalization of USD1 billion are
eligible for inclusion in the Index.
