After an onslaught of sexual discrimination claims and other scandals, Uber Technologies Inc. released its first diversity report on Tuesday. The data show the San Francisco-based ride-hailing company trails peers in terms of women in leadership or technical roles.
Women represent 22 percent of Uber’s leadership team and 15 percent of tech jobs.

The data show that 36 percent of Uber’s global employees are women, which is about in line with its peers.
