Europe: gender balance on company boards - Commission report and consultation paper

The Commissioner for Justice, Viviane Reding, today presented a progress report on the representation of women on listed company boards: see here (pdf). The report notes that in January 2012, women represented 13.7% of directors of the largest listed companies in the EU. Accompanying the report is a consultation paper in which the Commission seeks views on possible EU wide measures to address the gender imbalance: see here (doc).
