Abstract

From 2016, Germany will introduce a legal quota requiring listed companies and companies subject to codetermination legislation to fill 30 % of open supervisory board seats with female candidates. Ms Schulz-Strelow, have you achieved what you set out to in terms of gender equality in the boardroom? Does it feel good? We are still a long way off, but at least one thing will be achieved through this new legal requirement: There will be no going back. Because, unfortunately, the number of women in top management has actually gone down again. This is something we have seen time and time again in recent history, contrary to loud assurances that there will be gender equality.
