2019 Diversity Disclosure Practices 2019 Diversity Disclosure Practices

Overview

In this, our fifth annual comprehensive report on diversity disclosure practices relating to women in leadership roles by TSX-listed companies, we highlight the achievement of some key benchmarks that reflect a collective commitment to increasing board diversity. This year we highlight for the first time some examples of excellence in disclosure and we report on the number of board committees that are chaired by women. However, we continue to see almost no increase in the proportion of female executive officers. In addition, we note a gradual decline in the year-over-year rate at which women are being added to company boards.
