The 30% Club is a global campaign consisting of more than 1,800 CEOs and chairs of the world’s largest companies committed to achieving gender equality in business leadership. For 13 years, the 30% Club focus has been on achieving a minimum of 30% of women on boards of mainly listed companies. We’re pleased this has been achieved in the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, Ireland and most recently Malaysia.
However, despite progress, our initial target of seeing women holding 30% of board positions remains a stretch for many organisations across the world. Even in countries where boards have met, or surpassed, this target, a deeper review of the data reveals the vast majority of those are in non-executive roles and it’s rare to see female board or committee chairs. We also know that in the USA and UK, representation for women of colour at every managerial level remains far lower than the numbers of white women and that it reduces with every rung up the corporate ladder.
Moving forwards, the 30% Club will dually campaign for an increased number of women in C-suite roles while encouraging further progress in the boardroom. It is critical that the 30% Club encourages business leaders to commit to being on the path to gender parity.
