The Dutch Female Board Index 2008
The Dutch ‘Female Board Index 2008’ provides for the second year an overview of female representation on the Board of Directors and Supervisory Boards of 113 Dutch NV companies listed on Euronext Amsterdam. The companies are ranked according to the percentage of women present on their combined Board of Directors and Supervisory Boards. The Dutch ‘Female Board Index’ also analyses the differences between male and female executive directors and supervisors ('non-executive directors') and between companies with or without female representation on their Board of Directors and/or Supervisory Boards (together the ‘Board’).
The study showed that at the end of 2008 still only 30% of the 113 listed companies have one or more women present on their Board of Directors and/or Supervisory Boards; 70% have no women at all on their Board of Directors or Supervisory Boards. The number of companies with female executive directors and/or non-executive directors increased with only three companies as opposed to 2007. Of the 831 executive directors and non-executive directors only 47 (5.7%) are female. This is the weighted average of the percentage of female executive directors (2.0%) and the percentage of female non-executive directors (7.7%).
