Standard strategy. Google has the info, they data mine this to death on a yearly basis only to find that when confounding factors are accounted for there's no "wage gap". That's not something you can publicly say though, if you don't want to be lynched by an angry mob. The only gap they could find was that women are less likely to nominate themselves for a promo, and they've been encouraging them to self nominate for many years. Not a heck of a lot the company can do if you don't want more responsibility though.
