Investors Should Continue to Demand that Comparable and Necessary Human Capital Disclosures Are Made
- Few companies disclose human capital quantitatively, and most do so in text without numbers. Rarely do companies like Sysmex show how much added value their human capital investments have generated.
- To ensure that information necessary to understand how much value investment in human capital creates is disclosed, investors should scrutinize annual securities reports to identify areas for improvement in disclosure.
- Human capital and diversity disclosures are not available in a database. Allowing comparisons over time in the same company and comparative analysis with other companies will advance companies’ efforts.
