The 30% Club was founded in the UK in 2010. We now have chapters in 9 other countries. Led by Brenda Trenowden, our Global Chair, we collaborate with businesses, governments and other campaigns to improve gender diversity and accelerate the pace of change from schoolroom to boardroom. We support research on why women are good for business and what works to ensure more women progress through the executive pipeline.
The campaign originally launched with a goal of achieving a minimum of 30% women on FTSE-100 boards - currently the figure stands at 28.9%* up from 12.5% back in 2010. Accelerated progress has been achieved through the leadership of Chairs and CEOs, our Members.
As of 2016, we extended the scope of our original target and the goal is now a minimum of 30% women on FTSE-350 boards by 2020 (currently at 25.3%*). In tandem with this – and in order to ensure that this 30% remains sustainable – we have also established a pipeline target of a minimum of 30% women at senior management level of FTSE-100 companies by 2020 (currently women make up 25.2%** at FTSE 100 ExCo + direct report levels).
UK membership is open to Chairs and CEOs of listed companies, Managing Partners of professional services firms, and heads of public sector organisations and academic institutions, as well as non-listed companies on a case by case basis based on size and strategic fit.
