Mid-year figures for the Hampton-Alexander Review released last Wednesday showed that 29% of all FTSE 100 board positions are now held by women, up from 12.5% in 2011.</p><p> </p><p>The Review has launched an online portal for all FTSE 350 companies to submit wider female leadership data. This will track progress against 2017’s extended targets for 33% of women across the Executive Committee and their Direct Reports. These targets will help ensure there is a sustainable pipeline of women for all FTSE 100 board roles including finance chief roles.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 05/07/2018 16:43:26 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
