SINGAPORE – The number of women sitting on the boards of listed companies, statutory boards and institutions of public character (IPCs) has risen, but representation in Singapore’s top 100 listed companies continues to lag behind.
Women’s participation on boards of the top 100 listed companies rose to 22.7 per cent as at June 2023, from 15.2 per cent as at December 2018, mid-year data from the Council for Board Diversity showed.
While the proportion is heading towards the voluntary target of 25 per cent by 2025, 13 of the 100 primary-listed companies continue to be led by all-male boards.
In the public sector, the proportion of women having a board seat at statutory boards in Singapore hit 32 per cent in June 2023. Statutory boards were the first of the three sectors to hit their voluntary target of 30 per cent in 2022.
The third sector – the 100 largest IPCs here – continues to be just under its target of 30 per cent, with 29.5 per cent of board seats held by women.
