The Female FTSE Board Report 2016

Introduction
The 29th of October 2015 was a real flashpoint in progressing women into
the top UK boardrooms. On that day Lord Davies launched his closing report
showing that women made up 26.1% of the corporate boards of the FTSE
100 companies and there were no longer any all-male boards. The UK’s
journey to this remarkable point has been discussed widely across the world,
particularly in the USA where the UK has become a role model on how to
achieve gender diversity on corporate boards without imposing quotas.
