Hear from our Women Leaders
“I am an outcome of CRISIL’s mobility principles – starting with an analytical role in Ratings to an entrepreneurial stint of setting up a credit division, for our global business. It followed with an opportunity to lead P&L with the GAC business unit and head Corporate Strategy & M&A. CRISIL has a culture that helps you thrive and find your calling.”

Office spaces around the globe embraced the Pride theme, adorning their spaces with vibrant colours and symbols of inclusivity
Pride Food Festival was organised at all locations across India
Communications were chronicled with various leaders across geographies to share inspiring messages and stories pertaining to LGBTQIA+
Eskalera platform available to employees to understand concepts of identity, vulnerability, inclusion, exclusion and psychological safety
CRISIL covers same-sex partners in the medical insurance policy, and it covers gender affirmative surgery
Initiatives for Persons with Disabilities (PWD)
We have taken several measures to enhance accessibility (both digital and physical) with the focus on DE&I
All our offices of CRISIL provided with security and safety systems to ensure safety of employees and visitors visiting our premises

Supplier Diversity
CRISIL's policy of equal opportunity towards our stakeholders ensures that we engage with suppliers on merit and business needs.
However, CRISIL is equally conscious of the need for inclusive procurement, to deliver broader societal benefits by generating economic opportunity for disadvantaged communities.
CRISIL has adopted a Supplier Diversity framework aimed at welcoming suppliers belonging to MSME (micro, small and medium enterprises) and businesses owned / led by women, veterans, Persons with Disabilities(PWD) and LGBTQIA+ enterprises into our supply chain. We strive to widen our array of suppliers across diverse backgrounds through our Supplier Diversity framework.
