An organisation's performance is calculated based on a point system across nine variables, with each green (and purple for gender balance of management / boards) counting for one point, an amber as 0 points and a red as -1 point. An organisation can score a maximum of nine points. The overview of organisational scores can be found via the Gender and Health Index and further details on an individual organisation's performance can be found via the organisational profile pages.
