CBI responds to FTSE 100 women on boards data
The CBI responded to the latest data from BoardWatch on the proportion of women on boards in the FTSE 100.
Katja Hall, CBI Chief Policy Director, said:
“These figures show the voluntary business-led approach is working and we are pleased to see we are on the way to reaching our 25% target.
“Businesses can only secure the best leaders if they look at the widest pool of candidates and greater diversity in the boardroom also improves decision making.
“If we are to remove further blockages in the pipeline of female talent to the top, business leaders must continue to improve recruitment, mentoring and succession planning.
“Tokenistic EU quotas will do nothing to address the root causes of this issue.”
