The Credit Suisse Gender 3000 in 2021: Broadening the diversity discussion

12 Oct

From Credit Suisse. The Credit Suisse Research Institute (CSRI)’s ‘Gender 3000 in 2021: Broadening the diversity discussion’ report:

Tracks the changing gender profile of senior executives and boardrooms across global industries from a unique bottom up perspective.
Reveals boardroom diversity continues to improve globally with an approximate average of 24% of women sitting in corporate boardrooms. The percentage of women in senior management positions (“C-suite” roles) has also improved to 20%.
Illustrates a positive correlation between increased gender diversity in leadership positions and superior returns on capital, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and stock performance. The more pervasive diversity is within an organization, the stronger the relationship.
Outlines the state of female representation in entrepreneurship. Over the past five years, the ratio of female-to male-founded start-ups is up from 0.62 to 0.73 but challenges remain for female founders.
