Only 16 FTSE 100 companies have equal representation of men and women at board level, the research showed. However, of all executive roles in the FTSE 100, just 14% are held by women. There were also 402 women on FTSE 100 boards, representing 39% of all directorship positions, the data showed. The research showed 70 companies in the FTSE 100 had disclosed their board included at least one director of colour, up from 36 the prior year. However, there is more progress to be made," Hilary Owens Gray, director at Practical Law, said. "FTSE 350 companies are taking great strides to increase diversity at board level. The government's Parker Review last year set a target for each FTSE 100 firm to have at least one director of colour by the end of this year, and for all FTSE 250 boards to do so by 2024.
Companies are coming under increasing pressure to reverse under-representation at the top.
