Still not enough women on boards among #FTSE 350 firms, says new report

The FTSE 100 has been given a government-backed target to have 33% of boardroom positions filled by women by 2020


Cranfield School of Management argues the number of women on boards is still below target for the UK's biggest listed companies, while figures also show female directors don't last as long in top jobs as their male counterparts

A lack of progress in introducing women on boards among Britain’s biggest publicly-listed firms has been criticised in a new report.

Cranfield School of Management said gender diversity within FTSE 350 companies remained scarce.

Despite making ground in female representation on non-executive board positions, the Female FTSE Board Report 2018 identifies a lack of women in executive roles on board of the UK’s leading businesses – while male directors also outlast their female counterparts by almost two years on average.
