Improving gender balance in FTSE leadership
We are delighted to report that the third phase of the FTSE Women Leaders Review is underway for 2021, with Government Ministers, corporate sponsors and other business stakeholders continuing to provide valuable support.
Our Journey
The journey to increase the representation of women on boards and in the leadership teams of FTSE 350 companies began in earnest in the UK in 2011, when only 9% of women served on FTSE 350 boards.
Today there are over 34% women on FTSE 350 boards, and around 30% of all leadership roles are occupied by women.
Thank You
Such progress is a clear indicator of the success of the UK’s independent, voluntary and business-led approach, and efforts of many to harness the skills of women for the benefit of British business.
We would like to thank all companies and stakeholders who have worked hard to improve the gender balance of their boards and leadership teams, as we continue the path to further progress.
2021 Portal Opening
The Portal is now open for browsing and administration purposes. If you wish to Register as a new entrant to the FTSE 350, Log In to view the previous year’s records, or this year’s process, timeline, and the FAQ’s, you can do so now.
Data submissions will take place during the month of November, and the full report on the progress of FTSE 350 boards and their leadership teams, in the aggregate and by an individual company will be published in February 2022.
The Path Ahead

“This Government is committed to levelling up and bringing opportunity to everyone; and we back business and the business case to achieve greater women’s representation at board and senior executive positions in our leading companies”.
Denise Wilson
Chief Executive
“Never in the history of women in the British workplace has there been a stronger supply of skilled, capable women, ambitious for themselves, and ambitious for their organisations.
It is now for business to fully-utilise a talent pool filled to overflowing with educated, experienced women, to their own benefit and that of the UK economy.”

With evidence that women's careers have been disproportionately affected by the impacts of the pandemic, consideration must be given to how best to build back the labour market with gender equality front and centre.

Our CEO attended @Natural_RF Panel on Diversity and Inclusion in the mining sector yesterday, noting great examples of #leadership and #innovation. She reflects on diversity progress in the sector as a case in point - 'if you make progress in Mining, you can do it anywhere!'
The issues facing women's progression in leadership are sometimes sector related, but only to a certain extent. They are largely systemic, entrenched and common to all organisations. The attitude and appetite of the 'leader' matters most.
