Who we are
The FTSE Women Leaders Review is an independent, business-led framework supported by the Government, which sets recommendations for Britain’s largest companies to improve the representation of Women on Boards and in Leadership positions.
For the first time this year, 50 of the UK’s largest private companies have been invited to submit their gender data as part of the Review. The full list of private companies invited to take part was announced in our press release on 1 November 2022.
