The number of female directors at top UK companies increased in 2019 but more is needed to correct an overall gender imbalance in leadership.
File: A total 32.4 percent of all board positions at companies trading on London's benchmark FTSE 100 index are held by women.The number of female directors at top UK companies increased in 2019 but more is needed to correct an overall gender imbalance in leadership, a report showed.
The ten-year Review, launched in 2011, is on track to meet its target of 33 percent of all FTSE 100 board directors being women by 2020."If this progress continues into 2020, our targets for women on boards will be met," said the Review's chair Philip Hampton. He added:"We are still a long way from reaching the target for women in senior leadership roles below board level. Unless half of all appointments made this year go to women, our target for 2020 is not going to be met."
