MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – March 17, 2022 – Datasite®, a leading SaaS-based technology provider for global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) professionals, today announced that it has achieved EDGE Assess certification in recognition of its commitment to workplace gender equality.

Founded in 2011, EDGE, which stands for Economic Dividends for Gender Equality, provides a standardized methodology and global certification system that can be applied across industries and regions for assessing and tracking progress in closing the corporate gender gap. To achieve certification, EDGE completed a survey of all Datasite employees, as well as a review of company data, policies and processes related to gender equity.

“This certification is a great milestone for Datasite and further supports our focus on remaining innovative and competitive by ensuring our workplace is equitable and everyone feels welcome,” said Deb LaMere, Datasite Chief Human Resource Officer. “At the same time, it also prompts us to think about what we still need to do to push ahead to foster even greater gender equality. Innovation must be fed a steady diet of sharp ideas in places where differing perspectives and equity are supported.”
