KUALA LUMPUR: There is a need to keep the momentum going and in fact accelerate progress in terms of gender diversity on the companies’ board, said the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC).
“We did not meet the target of 30 percent women on (the companies’) board, by end-2020 — that was the national target set some years back. But we continued this year and based on the statistics that we have, we are quite close with now having 25.3 per cent women on (the companies’) board.
