Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (“Televisa” or the “Company”) announced today that, for third consecutive year, it has been selected as one of only five Mexican companies to be included in the 2021 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI).

The 2021 GEI includes 380 companies with a market capitalization of USD 14 trillion, headquartered in 44 countries and regions across 11 sectors.
