More progress is needed on progressing women to senior leadership roles, report concludes via IrishTimesBiz
Outside the Iseq20, the figure for other listed companies stands at 26 per cent, ahead of the 22 per cent target set for the end of the year and a 16 percentage point improvement since 2018.
Launching the report, Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar said the progress was encouraging. “I’m especially pleased to see that Ireland has now not only caught up with, but exceeded the EU average for the representation of women on the largest listed companies’ boards. This marks a significant accomplishment, especially given that this has occurred over a relatively short time period.
Among Iseq20 listed companies, almost three-quarters have three or more female board members. More than 50 per cent of all the companies listed on the Iseq now have more than three women on their board.
