Women are still largely under-represented on corporate boards globally, despite continued efforts to improve boardroom gender diversity. Our 5th edition of our Women in the Boardroom report outlines efforts in over 60 countries to increase the number of women occupying board seats.
The report also features perspectives of four non-executive directors from Australia, Japan, UK, and US into how boardroom diversity is progressing in their parts of the world.
Highlights include:
- Women hold 15 percent of board seats worldwide, a slight increase from our previous edition.
- Organizations with women in the top leadership positions have almost double the number of board seats held by women.
- Women hold only 4 percent of CEO and board chair positions globally.
