Since 2011, the number of women on FTSE 350 boards has more than doubled from 289 (9.5% of positions) to 744 (24.4%). There are now only 7 all-male boards, down from 152 in 2011.
We are going further and are supporting the work of the business-led Hampton-Alexander Review and its target of 33% women on FTSE 350 boards by 2020.
