More women are joining the boards of Australia's top stock market listed companies, but the target of 30pct has still not been reached.


Australia's biggest companies are upping their game when it comes to appointing more women to seats at the boardroom table. A new survey shows that for the first time, the number of top companies which have at least 30 per cent of their board members as women exceeds those with no women at all.

 

Just 22 of Australia's top 200 stock market listed companies had no women on their boards by the end of February, down by a third since July 2015, the Australian Council of Superannuation Investors found. Women now comprise 22 per cent of all boards for ASX200 companies, up from 19 per cent previously.
