It’s International Women’s Day, and corporations around the world are excited to tout their great gender-diversity stats.
The Back story: After the #MeToo wave brought gender equality and discrimination to the forefront, companies have made a concerted effort to highlight the diversity on their boards, if there is any. And from the looks of it, they’ve made so much progress! A Deloitte report showed that, as of last year, women hold 25% of Fortune 100 board seats, and a report from Equilar showed women filled 36% of new board seats in the third quarter of last year. Everyone is doing great work on this front! Which should be great for investors!
