DIVERSITY on boards and management teams is increasingly and deservedly gaining prominence in Singapore. Organisations such as the newly established Council for Board Diversity and Singapore Institute of Directors' Diversity Committee are championing more diverse representation on boards across the public, private, and charity sectors. Their tireless efforts have resulted in a considerable improvement in the number of female non-executive directors (NEDs) within the top 100 companies listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), growing from 7.5 per cent in 2013 to 15.2 per cent last year. However, there is still a long way to go in achieving the stated targets of 20 per cent by 2020, and 30 per cent by 2030.
