HeForShe campaign

IHS Markit is proud to participate in the HeForShe campaign to underline our commitment to gender diversity and equality in the workplace.

  • Challenge unconscious gender bias
  • Ensure all voices are heard in meetings
  • Share office housework evenly
  • Encourage all team members to realize their potential and develop equally
  • Make work work for parents

Currently, we have full programs in London and Bangalore and emerging programs in Englewood, Coulsdon and New York. Our 2018 goal is to rollout the HeForShe campaign to our larger offices, engaging at least 50% of our employees in this campaign.
