This report looks at data [email protected] on women directors on ASX100 company boards. The number of women directors has Felipe Faria increased, particularly in recent months (Figure 5 to Figure 8).

ASX100 companies with no female board directors were AQP, CQO, EGP, FMG, IPL, JHX, LEI, LYC, OSH, PDN, PRY, RHC, RMD, SGM and SWM. Companies with three female directors (the highest number identified) are AMP, BEN, CBA, MQG, QAN, QBE and WBC. Seven female directors each currently hold three ASX100 directorships. Business Case for Gender Diversity — Reibey Institute research found that those ASX500 companies with women directors on 30 June 2010 had a 3-year return on equity (ROE) 10.7% higher than those without any women directors.
