Europe: Parliament adopts Directive on disclosure of non-financial and diversity information by large companies and groups

The European Parliament has recently adopted the Directive on the disclosure of non-financial and diversity information by large companies and groups. The Directive, by amending Directive 2013/34/EU, will require, amongst other things, companies to provide information about their policy on board diversity (although it does not prescribe what that policy should contain). For further information see the press release and FAQS: here and here.
