IA to issue amber top to FTSE 350 companies not disclosing ethnic diversity of boards Decisive action to meet Parker Review targets
Parker Review target is for companies to have at least one director from an ethnic minority background by 2021
FTSE 350 companies that fail to disclose either the ethnic diversity of their board, or provide a credible action plan to achieve the Parker Review targets in the upcoming AGM season, will be issued an amber top by the Investment Association s Institutional Voting Information Service (IVIS).
