These are the 21 FTSE 100 companies with the most female boardmembers
Anne-Marie Sorvin-USA TODAY Sports
Lord Davies said 26% of FTSE 100 board members are now women, beating a goal of 25%, according to the final findings, released on Thursday. This is more than double the 12.5% female proportion in 2011.
On top of this, there are no longer any male-only boards in the FTSE 100, down from more than 20 when the Davies Review first launched.
There are currently five female CEOs in the FTSE100 - Veronique Laury of Kingfisher, Moya Greene at the Royal Mail, Alison Cooper from Imperial Tobacco, Liv Garfield of Severn Trent, and easyJet's Carolyn McCall. In 2016, Alison Brittain will become Whitbread's chief executive, taking the female CEO count to six.
Obviously, some companies are more diverse than others when it comes to gender, and we thought we should take time to look at the companies with the best gender balance on their boards. The Davies Review ranked companies by the percentage of women on boards, and did not take into account the seniority of the positions held by female board members.
