FTSE 100 hits 25% female board numbers, FTSE 350 lags behind

The UK’s FTSE 100 companies have now met a voluntary target of 25% women board members according to the final report from Lord Davies, which says this marks ‘a major milestone’ but calls for a new target of 33% female board members at FTSE 350 firms by 2020

The proportion of women on FTSE 100 boards hit 26.1% in October, compared to 12.5% in February 2011 when Davies issued his first report, and has also more than doubled on FTSE 250 boards to 19.6%.

The FTSE 350 has more women than ever before serving on their boards, with 550 new women appointments in just over four years, according to the latest research in the report, Improving the Gender Balance on British Boards: Davies review five year summary.
