Welcome to the Canada Chapter
About 30% Club Canada
Our aim is to engage both board Chairs and CEOs to set aspirational goals for their own company’s Path to Parity.
We are calling for beyond 30% representation of ALL women on boards and executive teams globally, with a particular focus on C-suite roles.
We aim for women and gender diverse people to hold at least 30% of chair and senior independent director roles, as well as executive committee roles – particularly CEO and CFO roles.
For this reason, we have aligned with The 50-30 Challenge, an initiative between the Government of Canada, Canadian businesses, and diversity organizations.
Join the 50-30 Challenge here.

“Our objective is to achieve a minimum of 30% women on the boards and at the executive management level of S&P/TSX composite index companies by 2022. 30% is the level at which critical mass is achieved and contributions of a minority group cease being representative of that particular group and begin to be judged on their own merit.”

Club des 30 % – Groupe des investisseurs canadiens: Déclaration d’intention (2017)
“Notre objectif est d’atteindre un minimum de 30 % de femmes sur le conseil et l’équipe de haute direction des entreprises incluses dans l’indice composé S&P/TSX d’ici 2022. Ce pourcentage est le niveau à partir duquel une masse critique est atteinte, et les contributions d’un groupe minoritaire cessent de ne représenter que ce dernier et sont jugées selon leurs propres mérites.”
