Commission comments on Lord Davies report
Commenting in response to the publication of Lord Davies final report on the number of women on boards, Laura Carstensen, EHRC Commissioner, said:
"While there's been welcome progress in eliminating all-male boards, it's telling that women are still predominantly recruited to non-executive director roles rather than as executive directors at Britain's biggest companies.
"Moreover, unlocking talent and economic potential by increasing female board membership shouldn't just be limited to FTSE100 companies.
"That's why the Commission is currently carrying out a major inquiry into recruitment practices in the FTSE350. This inquiry will shine a light for the first time on some of the stark challenges and questionable recruitment practices which still remain."
