Beyond Policy: How Brands Shape Their DEI Narrative

In today’s interconnected world, how your brand’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies and initiatives are perceived matters as much as the policies themselves. Our 2025 Global DEI Media Score measures exactly this—tracking how effectively the world’s most influential brands communicate their DEI commitments across mainstream and social media.

What Makes a Media Perception Leader

The DEI Media Score doesn’t measure policy quality—it quantifies how effectively companies shape public perception through the mainstream and social media.

 

This comprehensive scoring system (out of 100 points) identifies which brands have mastered the art of communicating their DEI initiatives in ways that resonate with stakeholders, build trust, and differentiate themselves in a complex social landscape.

Why Media Perception Matters

In a rapidly changing social and political environment, how effectively you communicate your DEI initiatives can:

 

  • Shape and strengthen your brand reputation
  • Build meaningful connections with diverse audiences
  • Demonstrate authentic commitment to stakeholders
  • Create competitive differentiation in your industry

 

The infographic highlights this year’s top performers who have excelled in these areas—brands that aren’t just implementing DEI policies but are effectively telling their stories in the media.
