The majority of directors from Canada’s 500 largest organizations (82%) say they have diverse boards, according to the Canadian Board Diversity Council’s annual report card.
But this is unlikely, says the CBDC, because the pace at which corporate diversity is improving is too slow. In fact, the report card reveals women currently hold 19.5% of FP500 organization board seats. That’s up from 17.1% in 2014, but Canada is still behind when it comes to bringing women on board. In the UK, for example, there are no all-male FTSE100 boards, while there are 109 such boards in Canada.
