Where the World's Top Companies Stand
20-first's Global Gender Balance Scorecard 2011
- In this 3rd annual survey, the 20-first Global Gender Balance Scorecard looks at a single measure of progress: the gender balance of the Executive Committe of the TOP 100 companies in three key regions of the globe.
- Most of the world’s top companies have embraced the idea that corporate governance through all-male boards is a thing of the past. Our 2011 survey finds that 74% of companies in the US and 68% in Europe now have at least two women at board level, as many have progressed beyond the token “one.”
- However, as 20-first has long argued, boards are not the best metric for evaluating the actual gender balance inside companies. Instead, the gender balance of the Executive Committee is a much better indicator of progress, as it looks at the executive team actually running the business.
