Abstract: This paper examines the impact of firm size on workplace diversity and inclusion in a global setting. Using a sample of publicly listed firms from 33 countries/economies over the period from 2016 to 2022 and utilizing the newly introduced Diversity and Inclusion Scores by LSEG, we find that larger firms are more engaged in cultivating workplace diversity and inclusion. Overall, our finding aligns with the prediction from the legitimacy theory.
