Abstract

When we launched the FTSE 100 Cross-Company Mentoring Programme in 2003, the landscape of activity dedicated to improving the gender diversity on boards and their equivalents outside the company sector was sparsely occupied. Professor Susan Vinnicombe and her team at Cranfield had begun to monitor the number of women on the boards of FTSE 100 companies in 1999, and Catalyst was producing similar reports and research in the US. A number of academic institutions had done and were doing research into the performance of companies with women on corporate boards (see Chapter 8 for brief summaries of this research). Relatively little was being done, however, to rectify the lack of gender diversity.
