“It’s great to see the on target progress for board non-executives. But we
need a step change in leadership roles for women at the executive level if
we are to achieve anything close to gender balance in business. The fact
that there are fewer FTSE female CEOs coupled with paltry progress in
executive director appointments is especially concerning.
Good governance mandates diversity and British
business stands to benefit from the diversity dividend
now more than ever. As the companies leading the
league table demonstrate - where there’s a will there’s
a way; clearly more leading companies need to find
their way on this vital issue!”
