What is the 30% Club?
The 30% Club is a global campaign led by Chairs and CEOs taking action to increase gender diversity at board and executive committee levels.
Time and again research shows diverse companies outperform their less diverse peers.
Under the leadership of Global Chair Hanneke Smits, the campaign continues to expand its international footprint across the G20.

Chapters
The 30% Club operates across more than 20 countries – from Australia to Mexico. We started out in the UK in 2010 and that’s where our HQ remains.
Our mission is to reach at least 30% representation of women on boards and C-Suites globally.
Our work
By signing up as members, Chairs and CEOs set a beyond 30% target for women at board and ExCo level.
We work to bring about real transformation through our Executive Search, Race Equity and Investor Groups – as well as our Cross-Company Mentoring scheme, which is the world’s biggest!
The role of the 30% Club is as vital now as it was at launch in 2010. Even today, the baseline target of reaching 30% women – either at board or senior management level – remains a stretch for many organisations throughout the world.
