UK: FTSE100 board gender diversity

Last Saturday's Independent newspaper contained a front page report about gender diversity and FTSE100 company boards: see here. According to the report, only 20 of the 329 executive directors at FTSE100 companies are women. A table containing the newspaper's data on the companies is available here (pdf). The report contains a useful overview of the measures taken in other countries to increase the proportion of women on company boards.
