About Asian and Pacific Islanders

People of Asian and Pacific Islander (API) descent make up more than half the world’s population and 6 percent1 (18.5 million) of the total U.S. population. According to the 2010 Census, the Asian American population in the United States grew 46 percent between 2000 and 2010, faster than any other major race group in the country, including Hispanics. The Census Bureau’s latest population projections estimate APIs to reach 41 million by 20502.

There are several terms that are used referring to this community: Asian, Asian American, Asian Pacific Island-

er, Asian Pacific Islander American, Asian Pacific American and Asian American and Pacific Islander American to name a few. There are two major groups that com-prise the community: Asian and Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander.

The U.S. Census Bureau defines the Asian category as “a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subconti-nent,” which includes over 20 different ethnic groups. Southeast Asian generally includes Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian and Vietnamese. South Asian generally includes Asian Indian, Bangladeshi, Bhuta-nese, Nepalese, Pakistani, and Sri Lankan. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2010 American Community Survey, the largest Asian groups in the U.S. include: Chinese (23.5%), Asian Indian (18.8%), Filipino (17.1%), Vietnamese (11%), Korean (9.9%) and Japanese (5.3%).

The Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander category is defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as “a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands,” which includes 20 different ethnic groups. Native Hawaiian (30.9%), Samoan (22.6%) and Chamorro or Guamanian (14.3%) are the largest Pacific Islander groups in the country.

Background

As part of our mission to inform society and empower communities, Leadership

Education for Asian Pacifics, Inc. (LEAP) launched a research initiative in 2009 to assess the current Asian and Pacific Islander (API) representation at the highest levels of leadership positions in different sectors of our society. The objective of this research initiative is to establish a baseline from which to measure and compare the progress (or lack thereof) of different sectors’ diversity and inclusion efforts with respect to the API community.

It is our hope that the research will en-able businesses, public institutions, as well as political, community and educa-tional leaders to develop and implement strategies for sustainable growth and ad-vocacy in this arena as an effective way to highlight the critical need for further work in the area. 2011 Fortune 500 API Executive Officers and Top Earners marks the sixth report in the series and the first edition of research focusing on Executive Officers.

Through these reports and our direct involvement with companies to develop a robust pipeline of leaders through our training programs, LEAP will continue to do its part to shed light on the need for more representation of APIs in leadership roles.

Methodology

LEAP collected data between January and April of 2012. The primary research collection included a thorough examination of publicly available data from annual reports and proxy statements from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to determine the total number of executive officers at each of the largest 500 companies in America as reported by Fortune magazine on May 23, 2011.

For the purposes of this report, the term “executive officer” refers to those corporate executives who

were elected or appointed by their com-pany’s board of directors. The following definition from the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations, Title 17: Commod-ity and Securities Exchange of section 240.3b-7 was strictly used to define these individuals:

“The term executive officer, when used with reference to a registrant, means its president, any vice presi-dent of the registrant in charge of a principal business unit, division or function (such as sales, administra-tion or finance), any other officer who performs a policy making function or any other person who performs similar policy making functions for the registrant. Execu-tive officers of subsidiaries may be deemed executive officers of the registrant if they perform such policy making functions for the registrant.”

Also, companies are required to publicly report their top five highest paid execu-tive officers referred in this report as “top earners” and they include: the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer, and the three most highly compen-sated executive officers as of the end of the company’s last completed fiscal year1.

To help ensure accuracy in the reporting of executive officers’ race and ethnicity, LEAP utilized the U.S. Census Bureau’s defini-tions:

The Asian category is defined as “a person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, South-east Asia, or the Indian subcontinent.” The Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander category is defined as “a per-son having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.”

LEAP contacted all 500 companies re-questing 1) the total number of individuals serving as section 16 executive officers of the company, as reported to the SEC and described in the company’s Annual Report (10-K), and 2) to identify those of Asian and Pacific Islander descent2.

Extensive research was conducted to confirm executive officers’ title, race, ethnic-ity and gender. Phone interviews or email communications were conducted with companies’ investor relations, office of the CEO, human resources, corporate com-munications departments and/or informa-tion desk for data confirmation. In some instances, phone or email communications were exchanged with individual executive officers.

LEAP compared all response data provid-ed to companies with information provided to the SEC. Where discrepancies were found, LEAP contacted companies to verify information, or otherwise used data as submitted to the SEC. For companies that did not respond to LEAP’s request for infor-mation, LEAP has reported total executive officer data as submitted to the SEC.

LEAP utilized the following sources in sup-port of its research efforts:

The May 23, 2011 issue of Fortune magazine that identified the 2010 Fortune 500;Public information from company an-nual reports (10-K), web sites, press releases and news articles;SEC filings submitted as of April 30, 2012 of company’s most recent proxy statements (DEF14A). For insurance companies that do not submit annual filings to the SEC, LEAP obtained data from the National Association of Insur-ance Commissioner’s (NAIC) regulatory database of key annual statements.

LEAP made every effort to achieve a high degree of accuracy. Information on race, ethnicity and gender composition of execu-tive officers is not always publicly avail-able. If errors or omissions are discovered, LEAP will make necessary adjustments. Please contact the report author, Rima K. Matsumoto, Vice President of Research and Strategic Alliances at (202) 412-4190 or via email at [email protected].

Only 79 companies in the Fortune 500 had API representation at the executive officer level.

There were 99 executive officers (2 percent) of API descent.

Thirteen API executive officers served as Chief Executive Officer at their company. Of those, three were women.

Only 51 APIs were identified by their company as one of the top five highest compensated executive officers (top earners). Of those, four were women.

Fifteen Fortune 500 companies had two or more API executive officers in their company: PepsiCo, Merck, Aflac, Jabil Circuit, Consolidated Edison, Yum Brands, Applied Materials, Synnex, Stanley Black & Decker, Boston Scientific, Dover, Broadcom, Franklin Resources, SanDisk and Cognizant Technology Solutions.
