Board Diversity: A Catalyst for Organizational Success

Your board of directors sets the tone and direction of your entire organization. Yet despite clear benefits of diverse corporate boards, like higher revenue, retention rates, and productivity, the great majority of corporate boards remain homogenous. Studies show that board diversity is improving but still has a long way to go. In 2022, women held only 32% of board seats in the S&P 500. Just 22% of board seats were filled by individuals from historically underrepresented groups.

In this briefing, we discuss the business case for diversity, equity, and inclusion, and the importance of increasing the diversity of board membership. We’ll also explore how board diversity is linked to responsible corporate governance, and how you can encourage your board to support DEI initiatives in the organization.
