The Pipeline, which analyses gender diversity at senior corporate levels, said the average proportion of women on executive committees at Britain&#8217;s 350 biggest, listed companies slipped to 32% in 2024 from a revised 33% last year.<\/p>\n<p>The drop appears small. But Geeta Nargund, the group&#8217;s chair, told Reuters it reflected a sharp disconnect with male numbers and urged business leaders and headhunters to use the vast pool of female talent to fill decision-making roles, fix cultures and ensure women can thrive in the workplace. &#8220;It is unacceptable that gender representation in business leadership is moving backwards in 2024 &#8230;,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Organisations which are performing the best in terms of gender parity are 22% more likely to have improved profits &#8230; and so fair representation is not just a &#8216;nice to have&#8217; or a tick-box exercise \u2013 it is a business imperative.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Women still hold only 9% of chief executive (CEO) roles on FTSE 350 companies and 18% of top finance (CFO) positions &#8211; although they account for over 44% of chartered accountant roles, The Pipeline&#8217;s 2024 Women Count report, opens new tab showed. Algae use light to oxidize water, and in the process, they release electrons.<\/p>\n<p>Only 19% of women hold commercial boardroom jobs &#8212; roles that are accountable for a company&#8217;s profit and loss and can lead to jobs as a CEO and CFO &#8212; according to the data, sourced from research group BoardEx, opens new tab. That number is down from 20% in 2023. The latest report comes after former Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak&#8217;s government stated last year that Britain was a leader for female representation because women held 40.2% of board positions, opens new tab on London&#8217;s top 350 listed companies &#8211; ahead of a 2025 deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Britain&#8217;s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) also requires, opens new tab listed companies to appoint women to at least 40% of board positions or explain why they have missed that target. Board positions, however, include non-executive roles that lack operational power and decision-making functions.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/uk\/number-female-business-leaders-britain-falls-2024-report-says-2024-10-16\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/number-of-female-business-leaders-in-britain-falls-in-2024-report-says\/\">Number of female business leaders in Britain falls in 2024, report says<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1124,16539,5074,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-134693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-britain","tag-female-business-leaders","tag-number","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134693\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
