El Club del 30% es una iniciativa global fundada por Dame Helena Morrissey en el Reino Unido en el año 2010. Desde entonces, se ha convertido en una misión con presencia en 16 países alrededor del mundo, que tiene como propósito alcanzar al menos el 30% de representación femenina en las juntas directivas y cargos ejecutivos a nivel mundial.
Reconociendo la importancia de la mujer en la sociedad, esta iniciativa llega a Colombia con el objetivo de conseguir la cuota mínima de participación femenina en las juntas directivas de las empresas para 2023.
En Colombia, según nuestro aliado académico, el Centro de Estudio en Gobierno Corporativo del CESA, quien hizo un análisis en empresas emisoras de valor, el 8,4% de estas juntas directivas son presididas por una mujer; asimismo, su participación como miembros es de tan solo el 17%.
Es por esto, que el Club del 30% trabaja por generar mayor diversidad y equidad en los altos cargos de las compañías, teniendo como certeza que el balance de género en estos espacios lleva a resultados financieros, administrativos y humanos extraordinarios.
Recognizing Chile´s distinct corporate governance framework, the aim of the 30% Club Chile is to include both board Chairs and CEOs to achieve better gender balance at board level, as well at senior management levels. In order to achieve this, we are working closely with Ministerio de la Mujer y Equidad de Género. We do not believe mandatory quotas are the right approach. Instead, we are building a strong foundation of business leaders who are committed to meaningful, sustainable gender balance in business leadership. Our name comes from an aspirational goal that we believe can be achieved in Chile ough focused efforts by the business community. As in all business ventures, ‘what gets measured gets managed’ – a numeric goal provides real impetus for change, and our goal is for 30% of board seats and C-Suites to be held by women by 2025.

OUR FOCUS
We support diversity in its very broadest sense and while gender has been our starting point, we fully realise that considerations of ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background and beyond are all part of the journey - and that gender identities are themselves evolving rapidly. We believe that only those organisations that foster truly inclusive cultures - cultures that embrace women who look, act and, importantly, THINK differently - can reach their full potential to positively impact their people, their markets and their communities.
OUR 2023 TARGETS
OUR 2020 TARGET
The 30% Club is always open to dialogue with organisations around their progress against these targets – this appetite for constructive engagement is supported by our Diverse Women working group.
OUR STORY
The 30% Club campaign was set up in 2010 with the aim of achieving a minimum of 30% female representation on FTSE 100 boards by 2015. That target was reached in September 2018, and the percentage currently stands at 36.1%*, up from 12.5% when we launched the campaign in 2010.
As of 2016, we extended the scope of our original target to a minimum of 30% women on FTSE 350 boards by 2020. This extended target was reached in September 2019, and the percentage currently stands at 34.2%*, up from 23% when we set the target.
This progress has been achieved thanks to the leadership of our Chair and CEO members and numerous other stakeholders that have collaborated to drive change. While we celebrate reaching these boardroom milestones, both targets were minimum objectives and there is still much work to do to achieve better gender balance at the top of businesses: 106* companies have still not reached 30% women on their boards and there is still 1 all-male board in the FTSE 350.
Now under Ann Cairns' leadership, as Global Chair of the campaign, our energies remain concentrated on supporting more women into senior roles, both executive and non-executive. Women remain significantly underrepresented as Chairs and CEOs and on Executive Committees of FTSE 350 companies, and more focus is needed to achieve diverse and inclusive cultures.
The 30% Club believes that companies with a good balance of men and women in senior roles have better insights into their customers and market opportunities, make better decision, perform better financially and better serve their communities.
For further detail on the campaign see booklet and video clip below.
*BoardEx, 5 January 2021

The 30% Club is a global campaign led by Chairs and CEOs taking action to increase gender diversity at board and senior management levels. Under the leadership of Global Chair, Ann Cairns, the campaign continues to expand its international footprint with presence in fourteen countries/ regions around the world.
In October 2018 the 30% Club advanced its global mission to foster gender balance on boards and C-suits in Brazil by joining forces with Brazil’s Call For Action Movement (CFAM). CFAM, was a local business-led initiative launched in 2017 in response to an annual survey conducted by Enlight on the level of female representation on Brazilian Boards. The 2017 survey report highlighted a lack of progress over the prior three years and recognized the importance of setting aspirational voluntary goals to drive progress.
We support diversity in its very broadest sense and while gender has been our starting point, we fully realize that considerations of ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background and beyond are all part of the journey - and that gender identities are themselves evolving rapidly. We believe that only those organizations that foster truly inclusive cultures - cultures that embrace women who look, act and, importantly, THINK differently - can reach their full potential to positively impact their people, their markets and their communities.
The 30% Club Chapter Brazil is inviting listed companies to set the following aspirational targets:
2021 will see a strong focus on intensifying engagement with Chairs and CEOs encouraging laggard companies with all-male boards or one & done boards to join the campaign and to appoint at least 30% women on boards by 2025. The over-arching strategy is to act as a public voice for gender balance on boards and leadership teams by working collaboratively with other bodies to spread awareness, grow the pipeline and stimulate demand primary to increase female board directors in Brazil.

Business Engage launched 30% Club East Africa on 24 October in Nairobi. Since the launch event, interest has been received from a number of other corporates and the next event is being planned for June 2019.
A local team is being developed to assist in driving the initiative in East Africa.
The BoardWalk and LeadersWalk events will be rolled out in East Africa as well.
On March 22, 2017 Borsa Istanbul (BIST) hosted the launch of the 30% Club’s Turkey Chapter as a business led campaign, aimed at improving corporate boards’ gender diversity. The founding members of the 30% Club Turkey represent most of Turkey’s powerful business groups that collectively dominate the stock market.
The 30% Club in Turkey is a spin off from the Independent Women Directors Project, that was initated by Sabancı University’s Corporate Governance Forum when the Capital Markets Board of Turkey amended its Corporate Governance Guidelines in 2012, recommending that companies set a target level of no less than 25% women on their boards. The Forum, which maintains a database of female talent and tracks improvement in BIST boards’ gender diversity, facilitates and coordinates the 30% Club Turkey campaign.
The Steering Commitee of the 30% Club Turkey has the following targets:
These targets corresponds to approximately a three-fold increase in the number of professional women on corporate boards from the current level considering that half of the women sitting on corparate boards today are members of controlling shareholder families.

The 30% Club MENA is a regional volunteer effort of multi-sector leaders working together towards better representation of women on boards and in senior level positions. We work in collaboration to accelerate pace of change and support the growth of a healthy pipeline of talented and capable women that are ready to serve in senior positions across various sectors.
We strongly believe that business-led change is the right way forward; and as such, we support women to realize their potential through mentorship, executive education, research, and we also advocate good governance to support women to serve on boards.
The 30% Club MENA chapter was established in 2015.
The 30% Club Italy was launched on October 26th 2015 as a business-led, not-for-profit initiative aimed at reaching at least a 30% participation of women in leadership (executive positions and boards) by 2020.
The main challenge is increasing women's participation in organizational leadership (executive and top-middle levels) particularly in large companies. Currently, women CEOs are 4% in companies above 200 ML turnover (10% in companies below 50 ML); women executives are less than 10% and women in middle-top management positions (dirigenti) are approximately 16%. Women in boards of stock-listed and government participated companies are approaching 30% (currrently 28%) due to gender quotas introduced by law in 2011.
The primary focus of the 30% Club in Italy will be to grow women’s participation in executive positions (two levels below CEO). Augmenting presence at this level will help create a women CEO pipeline; help drive women’s participation beyond the functional areas where they have traditionally been confined and favor cooptation of women from lower ranks of management and inspire them.
A secondary focus will be on board presence. We wish to increase women participation in boards not affected by the law, to improve the level of women’s participation in boards and to ensure that, when the law expires, women’s presence will not regress.

Recognizing Canada’s distinct corporate governance framework, the aim of the 30% Club Canada is to include both board Chairs and CEOs to achieve better gender balance at board level, as well at senior management levels. Our mission is at least 30% representation of ALL women on all boards and C-suites globally. We support diversity in its very broadest sense and while gender has been our starting point, we fully realize that considerations of ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background and beyond are all part of the journey - and that gender identities are themselves evolving rapidly. We believe that only those organizations that foster truly inclusive cultures - cultures that embrace women who look, act and, importantly, THINK differently - can reach their full potential to positively impact their people, their markets and their communities.
We do not believe mandatory quotas are the right approach. Instead, we are building a strong foundation of business leaders who are committed to meaningful and sustainable inclusive leadership. As in all business ventures, ‘what gets measured gets managed’ – a numeric goal provides real impetus for change, and our goal is for 30% of board seats and C-Suites to be held by women by 2022.
In order to achieve this, we are collaborating with and amplifying the work of Catalyst, who takes an intersectional lens and solid research to focus on organizational impact that makes workplaces more inclusive. Initiatives of importance include Catalyst Accord and CEO Champions of Change, pledging to advance more women, including Black women, into all levels of leadership. Catalyst also publishes excellent and informative research and tools that promotes intersectional inclusion and the combatting of anti-Black and anti-Indigenous systemic racism – check out our resources section for the latest content.
The 30% Club Canada also collaborates with the Canadian Gender and Good Governance Alliance and their member organizations to include change at the board table and in the C-Suite; as well as the Investor Group, a group of asset owners and asset managers committed to exercising their ownership rights to encourage increased representation of women on corporate boards and in executive management positions in Canada.

WELCOME to The 30% Club Malaysia Chapter!
The 30% Club started as a campaign in the UK in 2010 with a goal of achieving a minimum of 30% women on FTSE-100 boards.

• assist corporate boards in their engagement of qualified, board-ready women
• support initiatives to build a pipeline of women in executive and non-executive roles
The 30% Club is not a call for a quota – instead the 30% Club supports sustainable business-led voluntary change to improve the current gender imbalance on Malaysian corporate boards.

The 30% Club Ireland officially launched in January 2015, with a goal to achieve better gender balance at all levels in leading Irish businesses. The 30% Club believes that gender balance on boards and executive leadership not only encourages better leadership and governance, but further contributes to better all-round board performance, and ultimately increased corporate performance for both companies and their shareholders. The initiative is complementary to individual company efforts and existing networking groups, adding to these through collaboration and the visible commitment of senior business leaders. Over 200 Irish Chairs and CEOs of leading businesses are supporters of the 30% Club Ireland. These leaders are committed to accelerating gender balance in their organisations through voluntary actions.
The 30% Club is a collaborative business-led effort to make real change in Ireland, aiming towards 30% female representation in senior management by 2020.

Supporting Balance for Better Business – Second Report December 2019
The Balance for Better Business group has launched its second report, updating on progress against gender balance targets set out for Boards of Listed Companies in May of this year. Across the ISEQ 20 companies progress has been positive and the gap between Ireland and the EU equivalent has narrowed on foot of this progress. However, progress outside of the ISEQ 20 has been limited and for some listed companies has remain unchanged.
This second report has extended the review to now include targets for senior management teams. In addition, the scope of the review has also been widened to include gender balance targets at board and senior management levels for Private Companies.
The 30% Club Ireland has long been campaigning for such measures and has always focused on gender balance at senior decision making levels across all organisations operating in Ireland . We welcome the latest version of the Balance for Better Business review and, in particular, we are very pleased that the review has:
- Continued to recognise the importance of organisations being accountable for their own progress, in the recommendation for targets rather than prescribed quotas
- Highlighted progress against targets by the ISEQ 20 firms to 25.3%, and improvement of gender balance across all Irish Listed companies to 19.1%
- Expanded the focus to include private companies, which are a key sector of the Irish economy
- Broadened the focus to include senior executive teams, particularly as the c-suite is the talent pipeline for CEO and Board positions.
- Outlined the need for practical tools and supports and called out groups such as the 30% Club and initiatives like our Board and Executive Resourcing Code which we launched in April, as useful for progress
The 30% Club Ireland continues to support members as they put plans in place to deliver on the review recommendations.
For more information on the Review and how we plan to support organisations in delivering on the requirements, contact Gillian Harford, Country Executive 30% Club Ireland. gillian@gharford.ie

At the annual CEO and Chairs Conference on 8 February 2019: the Irish Chapter were very privileged to announce that Professor Mary McAleese, former President of Ireland, and Dr Martin McAleese, Chancellor, Dublin City University, have become joint patrons of the 30% Club in Ireland.. Speaking at the conference the former President said;
“Martin and I have always worked as a partnership and supported each other throughout our careers. Becoming patrons of the 30% Club to promote gender diversity is something we are both equally passionate about. Achieving real progress on gender diversity, is equally about men and women working together for change. Gender equality is a rising tide of talent, appreciation of all skill, and opportunity for all.”
Speaking about the announcement, Carol Andrews, 30% Club Ireland Country lead and a Managing Director at BNY Mellon Ireland said;
“The 30% Club Ireland is honoured to have Mary and Martin McAleese become our joint patrons. Their patronage illustrates clearly the standing the 30% Club now has in Irish life and embodies our view that improved gender representation is based on men and women working together for change. Their support is indicative of their combined passion and commitment to supporting diversity as an important means to achieve a better Ireland.”

30% Club HK and The Women’s Foundation release video to highlight the lack of gender diversity on Hong Kong Boards
HONG KONG, November 6, 2018 The low number of women on company boards remains a pressing issue in Hong Kong. Along with the 30% Club HK, The Women’s Foundation have been long time advocates for more diverse corporate boards. Echoing Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam’s strong call on all listed companies to appoint more women on their boards in her annual policy speech last month, we have taken a fresh approach to address the issue - presenting a light-hearted video “Flipping the Script”, available in both Cantonese and English. With this video, we aim to emphasise the fact that women are underrepresented in Hong Kong boardrooms, highlighting the urgent need for greater public awareness around increasing gender diversity on boards.
Please click here for a copy of the full Press Release
The 30% Club Hong Kong launched in March 2013 and is working to bring more women onto Hong Kong corporate boards by:
The 30% Club Hong Kong recognizes that gender diversity is good for the overall effectiveness of the boardroom – and therefore is good for business. Besides benefiting companies, greater board diversity will also benefit Hong Kong. As a global financial centre with an abundant talent pool of highly qualified women, we believe Hong Kong is well positioned to become a leader in board diversity.
The 30% Club Australia launched in May 2015 with the primary objective of campaigning for 30 per cent women on ASX 200 boards by the end 2018. Nicola Wakefield-Evans is the Country Lead and is working closely with the Steering Committee, our Ambassador Chairs and a number of Working Groups and valued supporters from around the country in promoting the benefits of diversity at all levels of business. In March 2019 the 30% Club announced a new objective for 30 per cent women on ASX 300 boards by the end of 2021. The 30% Club will continue to focus on the boards of ASX 200 companies that have not reached the 30 per cent target.

“There will be no progress if one doesn’t work actively. Looking at each other and wonder why the absence of female leadership in our strategic initiatives, has been important to think about our culture that we must change”, says Hernán Rodríguez, President of Colbún Energía and Member of the 30% Club Chile.
At the same time, Juan Carlos Eichholz told us “How diversity culture and female leadership attributes are very necessary at digital age. In addition, there are experiments that have shown that teams work improves when there is 30% as minimum representation".
Ricardo Falú, GG of AES Gener told us about his successful experience incorporating 50% of women at work in Colombia and the support to them. Both companies are competition, but they are collaborating and sharing best practices.

The 30% Club mentoring scheme, developed with the support of EY offers cross-company, cross-sector mentoring to women at every layer of the career pyramid. It aims to complement other schemes in the marketplace, or within individual organisations, where cross-company mentoring is usually only available to very senior women.
Here in the UK the programme is delivered by Women Ahead, a social impact organisation working to create an inclusive society in which individuals and organisations can be at their best. The initiative has had tremendous success and we have been able to scale and grow the offering with circa 2800 mentors and mentees and 100+ organisations now taking part in the programme.
Registration for the 2019-20 cohort is now closed but to register interest for 2020-21 please contact Rebecca Davies at Rebecca.davies@moving-ahead.org or on 01491 579726.

The 30% Club is proud to partner with The Telegraph for their Women Mean Business Conference on 31 Ocotober 2018.
The conference includes a top line-up of speakers including Brenda Trenowden CBE (Global Chair, 30% Club) and Helena Morrissey DBE (Founder, 30% Club)
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

funding).
The live event, taking place in London in October, will see female founders of established startups, corporate c-suite executives and
government representatives convene to address the lack of funding for female entrepreneurs. The event will also discuss the gender
pay gap, equal opportunities and celebrate women in business through live debates and panels.

In October 2017 The Treasury Committee launched a new inquiry into Women in Finance focusing on HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter and the progress it has made. The Committee will seek to identify the barriers to women entering and progressing in the financial services industry and will examine the value to financial firms of having greater gender imbalance. It will also scrutinize the impact of Government and financial regulators as role models for good gender diversity practices.
This high-profile forum builds on the success of the previous editions of the Women in Business and the Women in Finance summits, which both attracted 250+ senior delegates from across business, government and the regulatory community, both here and overseas.
The conference will examine the role of the Government and financial regulators in addressing the imbalance of seniority between genders and determine what can be done to identify the barriers to women entering and progressing in the financial services sector.
It will also review the progress made since the launch of the HM Treasury’s Charter and assess the impact the Charter has had on signatory companies, the benefits they are realising and the challenges the firms face in meeting their Charter commitments.

GENDER BALANCE INDEX
The annual Gender Balance Index tracks the presence of men and women in senior positions of public financial institutions globally, weighted by seniority.
The 2017 report focused on central banks, showing that the sector is highly unbalanced when it comes to gender, with the disequilibrium becoming worse. The value of the overall index, which aggregates the performance of individual institutions weighted by their country's share of the global economy, stood at 30.6% in 2017 – a far cry from the 100% that would suggest a perfectly gender-balanced picture.
The 2018 edition of the Gender Balance Index expands the analysis to sovereign funds and public pension funds. We invite you to attend the launch of the 2018 findings which will be presented in both London and Singapore. Speakers include: Catherine Bradley, board member at the UK Financial Conduct Authority; Marc-Olivier Strauss-Kahn, director general of economics and international relations, Banque de France; Jorgovanka Tabaković, governor, National Bank of Serbia; and Anna Trzecińska, deputy president of Narodowy Bank Polski.

The Financial Times & 30% Club invite you to join us for the next Women at the Top Summit - Transforming Leadership
The 30% Club is delighted to announce that we will be partnering with the FT Women at the Top summit which returns in September to tackle one of the most complex challenges we face today: how to fix the gender imbalance in the top ranks of business in Britain and beyond.
The composition of top UK management remains stubbornly uniform despite significant progress to make organisations more diverse and inclusive. The costs to companies and the economy of male dominated leadership are well documented. Yet many employers are still inadvertently turning away future leaders – male and female – by continuing business as usual.
Join us to look at how leadership could be transformed over the next decade as the impact of policy changes becomes clear. Hear practical examples and insights from the most forward thinking business leaders, academics and policy makers tackling the gender imbalance and take part in action-focused debate to discover how you can effect change.
We have negotiated a 15% discount only available to 30% Club members, a saving of £150 on a single ticket to this leading summit which can be activated by using the code 30CLUB when registering. Further discounts are available for two or more bookings.

The 30% Club is partnering with HM Treasury and the Women in Finance Charter for this awards event.
Of all the industries in which women are poorly represented at a senior level, finance and financial services have the biggest challenge to address.Despite making up more than half the finance workforce, women continue to dramatically lag behind their male counterparts in leadership roles.“Women account for 23 per cent of board members and just 14 per cent of executive committee members across UK-regulated financial services companies. But this is nowhere near ideal.”The Women in Finance Awards is the finance industry’s largest diversity initiative, recognising the high-achievers, advocates, and role models for women in the sector. Organised by GrowthBusiness.co.uk and What Investment magazine, we aspire to see gender balance at all levels in the world of finance. This isn’t just a matter of corporate responsibility; it’s a matter of national urgency.The event will bring together key stakeholders to raise awareness of the sector’s diversity problem, further the gender balance agenda, as well as to celebrate inclusion, leadership and finance excellence.The lack of women in this sector is already taking toll on financial institutions, and the time to address this is now. Join us on 29th June 2017 for an evening of celebration and dialogue at the inaugural edition of the Women in Finance Awards.
Nominations for the 2017 Women in Finance Awards will close on 28 February 2017.
The Women in Finance Awards is open to advocates, supporters, and achievers in the world of finance, actively bridging the diversity gap in the sector. But for this initiative to be a resounding a success, we need to know who you believe the women and advocates that deserve recognition are.
So we urge you to nominate someone – a colleague, partner, client, friend, whomever in finance – you feel should be celebrated on this very special evening.
The judges will convene two weeks before the awards ceremony to review all of the shortlisted nominations. They will decide the winners based on written submissions, supporting materials and video assets, so please include as much information as possible within the word limit. Whether you’re nominating yourself, or someone you believe should win, please fill out the nomination form using the criteria (accessible via the link below) of the category most relevant to your entry. Remember, the judges will refer to each criteria to guide their decisions, so shape your entry accordingly. Each written submission should be at least 600 words and a maximum of 1,000 words. There is no cost to nominate, and you can enter as many categories as you wish.

In 2015, the Davies Review put forward its closing recommendations and suggested that cross-sector appointments could help to improve the gender and professional diversity of boards. The latest data from Cranfield University’s Female FTSE Report 2016 shows that while the percentage of women on FTSE 100 boards has increased to 26% and to 20.4% on the FTSE 250 boards this year, the percentage of new appointments going to women over the past six months is only 24.7%. This is the lowest since September 2011.
Better gender diversity at board level is a priority for UK businesses and universities. While both sectors have made big improvements, there is much more to be done. So far there has been little research into the exchange of board-level talent between businesses and academia. In response, KPMG and the 30% Club commissioned Professor Simonetta Manfredi, Director of the Centre for Diversity Policy Research and Practice at Oxford Brookes University, to conduct a study into this issue.
Professor Simonetta Manfredi will be presenting the compelling findings of this report at this event kindly hosted by KPMG. This will be followed by a panel discussion, where Simonetta will be joined by business leaders including Anne Richards, Chief Executive Officer at M&G Group PLC.

She is a Master Practitioner in NLP (neuro-linguistic programming).
Rather than feeling that leaders have to have all the answers, and directing things from the outside through command and control, using their own ego strength and energy (ego-intelligent leaders), eco-intelligent leaders see themselves as catalysts within an inter-dependent eco-system. Sharon’s talk will explore how leaders can bring eco-intelligence to bear on their day-to-day work and create self-sustaining eco-systems where staff can find higher levels of self- expression and purpose.

企業を取り巻く環境はますます複雑性を増し、経営者の意思決定の難易度は高まっています。事業再編を含む高収益構造への転換、デジタルを利用したビジネスモデル変革、法令順守対応、海外進出等の施策を検討する上で自社の主要事業へのリスクを常に把握し、適時に判断・行動することが必要となっています。さらに、昨今は企業における会計および品質に関する不祥事などは報道で大きく取り上げられ、同時に不祥事発生時の対応を誤ることにより、株式市場における企業価値を大幅に毀損させている企業も少なくありません。将来の不確実性(リスク)を予見することで、経営上の意思決定の精度を高めることは日本企業のグローバル市場における競争優位性を高めます。

İstanbul
The "Board Membership Nomination Processes Search Conference" was held on Thursday, October 3, 2019 at Boyner Holding as part of the 30% Club Campaign conducted by the Sabancı University Corporate Governance Forum. The moderator of the event was Sabancı University Search Chair Oğuz Babüroğlu.
Attending were 25 independent woman directors who hold positions on the boards of publicly-traded companies in different sectors.
Boyner Holding Vice President of Human Resources Emek Yurdanur delivered introductory remarks. Yurdanur said, “We at Boyner Holding support every initiative for equal opportunity. I am a firm supporter of equal opportunity in our own companies as well. Forty percent of our employees are women. It is a challenge to find and retain woman employees in the retail sector. That is why we have positive promotion and wage prospects and offer equality of opportunity."
Melsa Ararat said Nomination Committees were non-functional
Sabancı University Corporate Governance Forum Director Melsa Ararat said that the event was the continuation of the previous search conference. Ararat explained that the 2018 conference was held with members of company boards that consisted solely of men, and the outcomes were shared with the public in the 2018 Independent Woman Directors Conference.
Melsa Ararat said that the number of woman directors was not improving at the expected rate, continuing, “The inclusion of more independent woman directors on boards will ensure that companies are managed with consideration for the interests of various stakeholders, but the rate og improvement in Turkey is too slow. We decided to work on the matter of nomination since we have observed that non-functional nomination committees are a critical obstacle."
Ararat said that the outputs of the meeting would provide input to the EBRD project on increasing the ratio of woman directors on company boards. Ararat further explained that the 30% Club, under the direction of the Forum, is part of the project.
Oğuz Babüroğlu said that the focus points of the meeting would be the appointment process and experiences during board membership.

Research has documented and experience has confirmed that men have a critical role to play in creating inclusive workplaces and accelerating progress for women.
Join Catalyst and KPMG for a panel discussion with male executives who are championing change:
Many men are unfamiliar with how gender gaps in opportunity, pay, and advancement hurt them, too, both as leaders of companies and as members of families and communities.Organizations must enlist these men, in partnership with women, to work together as allies in changing the organizational norms and structures that perpetuate gender gaps.
This event is especially targeted to male senior executives, Chief Human Resources Officers, and Chief Diversity Officerswho are seeking strategies for leveraging all talent in the workplace and advice about the most effective ways for women and men to partner together in ending gender inequalities at work.

The overwhelmingly positive feedback from the participants in the webinar, who joined from as far as Japan and Africa, was testament to the value that this session brought. The 30% club’s goal was to provide a different perspective and empower the right thinking, which was successfully delivered.
We would like to thank our partners, Global Impact Network Malaysia, TULIPS MOVEMENT and Nottingham University Business School for the collaborative effort in organizing this session.
30% Club Malaysia
30% Club Malaysia has signed Memoranda of Understanding with the Malaysian Institute of Corporate Governance (MICG), CnetG Asia Sdn Bhd (CnetG), and Asia School of Business (ASB).

In 2020, five years on, our focus has been on building a more robust ecosystem aimed at this case for change," said Tan Sri Zarinah Anwar, Co-Founding Chair, 30% Club Malaysia during a virtual signing ceremony, the first of its kind for this business-led campaign.
30% Club Malaysia
Are there differences in the leadership DNA of female and male leaders?
"Women leaders have handled the Covid-19 crisis better than their male counterparts."
"Regardless of gender, there are 4 fundamental traits of a leader - higher level of self-awareness, learning agility, skills to influence and communication skills."
"Be gender blind even with yourself and you'll find out more often than not they will treat you equally."
"Its crucial to have an open mindset and be receptive."
These were some of the views discussed at the recent AI Summit 2020, where 30% Club Malaysia was a supporting partner. The panel discussion was moderated by Raj Kumar Paramanathan, Managing Partner of CnetG Asia and a 30% Club Advocate.
5 eminent panelists, Rizalina Mantaring, Ayla Majid, Karel Avni Doshi, Debbie Goodman-Bhyat, and Sunil Puri, shared their views on what leadership traits are and their relevance for a sustainable and inclusive new world.
30% Club Malaysia
The 30% Club Malaysia would like to congratulate the Cohort Five - a total of ten women- on successfully completing the nine-month mentoring journey to become board-ready.
The Cohort 5 are participants of the Board Mentoring Scheme, which aims to accelerate the appointment of more women into board positions as well as enhancing diversity and inclusion in public-listed companies. Since the launch in 2017, more than 40 women has gone through the 9-month mentoring scheme and 27% are on boards of listed/non-listed companies. The 30% Club Malaysia would also like to welcome the on-boarding of the sixth cohort - a total of 20 participants – to start their nine-month mentoring journey.
A total of 53 distinguished members of the corporate community have also participated as mentors in the scheme. The mentors have volunteered their time to help our next generation of female directors to reach their potential.
30% Club Malaysia
The Influence Pillar of 30% Club Malaysia was privileged to have an online fireside chat with Mr Devanesan Evanson on 23 October, where we drew his views as CEO of the Minority Shareholders Watch Group (MSWG) regarding Board-related matters, including diversity and inclusion.
The Influence Pillar was represented by Datuk Zunaidah Idris, Datin Sunita Rajakumar, Ilham Sunhaji (MBA), Nirmala Doraisamy, CGMA, FCMA, CA(M), Karpana Somasundram, and Susan Sha, while Pushpa Nair moderated the session.
On getting Boards to have a minimum of 30% women, Devanesan explained that MSWG will vote against a new male member on an all-male Board. Although MSWG’s shareholding is small, this is a matter of principle. MSWG also questions boards at AGMs on their inability to get at least 1 woman on board.
While some countries mandate female representation at Boards, Malaysia has a principle-based Recommendation on gender diversity in the Code of Corporate Governance. In terms of effectiveness, MSWG finds naming and shaming is effective to encourage compliance.
The Influence Pillar thanks Mr Devanesan for sharing his views and agreeing to be our influencer to support and improve D&I in the Investors Community.
Tenaga Nasional Berhad

Moving forward the 30% Club Malaysia and MICG agree to explore joint opportunities to reach a larger audience and focus to enhance Corporate Governance in the boardroom.
At the 30% Club Malaysia, we seek to work alongside organisations and leverage on expertise, readily available resources and experience to build and progress women into leadership positions in corporate Malaysia. This comes at an opportune time as the 30% Club Malaysia continues to work on building an ecosystem of corporations, advancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion within the country.

Women on Boards in Malaysia
Using firm-level data for 806 public-listed companies in Malaysia, we highlight the extent of women’s participation as board members in Malaysia benchmarked against other countries. How this women’s participation varies by industry and firm-size is considered, along with its potential impact on the company’s performance. About 13 percent of the board positions in Malaysia filled by women and the rest by men in 2017. Moreover, the trend over the last four years reveals a slow pace of increase in the proportion of women board members. The largest 100 firms and some industries such as finance show a greater tendency to have female vs. male board members.

We are pleased to announce our brand new Boardroom Series for Women Leaders which includes our flagship annual 30% Club Boardroom Lunch. The series is composed of educational workshops and networking events with key Board Directors, Executive Search firms and peers. It offers a more sustained and results-focused programme to help us achieve our collective goal of increasing the number of women on boards.
Our launch of this initiative starts with the "Roundtable Breakfast: From the C-Suite to the Board" which aims to link board-ready and board-aspiring Women to Watch with Executive Search Firms and to have an open dialogue regarding challenges and diversity in HK boardrooms. There will be a panel discussion with Nick Allen (Chairman of Link REIT) focusing on what boards and chairs are looking for in potential board candidates.
Often the challenges involved in the shift from the C-Suite to the Board involves the use of different skills, which we'll highlight in this session. We will dive into where and what to focus on when building board portfolios and how to position yourself to stand out. The groups will break into roundtables led by senior representatives from the search firms to discuss these challenges.
