According to a survey, 25.5 percent of board members in Germany’s largest listed companies are currently female. As the consulting firm Russell Reynolds announced, the proportion of women in German listed companies fell by 0.2 percentage points compared to the previous year. In the MDax, which includes 50 medium-sized companies, the proportion of women fell by 0.4 percentage points to 19.5 percent.
“This marks the end of a ten-year phase of steady progress in which the proportion of women on the boards of companies in both indices increased year after year,” said Russell Reynolds. The level remains “close to the historic high, but the trend signals a noticeable weakening of momentum.”
