Britain’s biggest companies should aim to have women making up a third of their board members by 2020, a government-sponsored report into gender equality recommended.
Mervyn Davies, a former chairman of Standard Chartered Plc who was appointed to head a government panel on women in the boardroom in 2011, included the goal for all companies in the FTSE 350 in his final report published Thursday. He also made recommendations to increase the number of women in senior executive roles.
