About EY’s Global Equality Standard

The Global Equality Standard (GES) is a comprehensive assessment framework which provides an in-depth diagnostic of all aspects of DE&I and sets out clear strategic recommendations and a detailed action plan for improvement. The GES forms part of a family of Equality Standards and sits alongside the National and Supplier Equality Standard, powered by EY. There are now over 400 organisations who have engaged with the frameworks globally.
