• The 30% Club is a group of Chairmen voluntarily committed to bringing more women onto UK corporate boards. On average, FTSE-100 companies have 20.4% female representation on their boards.

    Increasing board diversity is key to driving profitable growth. Having a better balance - at least 30% senior female leaders - positively influences both a company's culture and the decision-making process.

  • We aim to meet this goal by:

    • Inspiring company leaders to appoint more women to executive and non-executive directorships;
    • Improving the pipeline below board level, to widen the talent pool available to business;
    • Supporting and encouraging successful women in business.

Chairman, Volex

“In my judgment, shareholders benefit when boards have a diversity of skills, background and experience. That’s the way the most effective boards tend to be composed – with both men and women playing a full part.”

David Tyler
Chairman, Sainsbury’s
