Per the McKinsey study, companies with gender-diverse executive teams in the highest quartile outperformed male-dominated companies by 21% in terms of EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) and 27% in terms of creating long-term value.

Racially diverse executive teams provided an advantage of 35% higher EBIT and 33% more long-term value creation over the least racially diverse companies. (McKinsey)

Research done by Catalyst shows that when employees have positive experiences of inclusion, 49% shared that their team can work constructively together to find solutions to problems and resolve conflicts.

Diverse companies attain 19% higher revenue than monolithic companies on account of more incredible innovation. In addition, providing education and training that underrepresented groups may not have had access to in the past can foster innovation by exposing employees to new skills and ideas.
