Prepare for a significant shift towards gender equality in the EU’s business world!
We are thrilled to announce and invite you to join us at the “Women in the Boardroom” event in partnership with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Deloitte Croatia, Krehić Law, and Privredna banka Zagreb d.d.
The background – Pushing for Gender Diversity
Prepare for a significant shift towards gender equality in the EU’s business world!
In June 2022, the European Council and Parliament signed a new law requiring listed companies to have more women in leadership positions. By 2026, underrepresented genders must occupy 40% of non-executive director positions or 33% of all director positions, representing a major milestone in pursuing gender equality, a decade in the making.
Gender inequality in executive positions and supervisory boards of Croatian companies is a problem that the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has highlighted for many years. According to data from the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE), only 26.2% of women were on the boards of listed companies in Croatia in 2020, while Deloitte’s report from the same year indicates 30%.
To attain complete gender equality in the corporate arena, it is essential to advocate for and select women for all tiers of management, comprising top-level executive roles and supervisory boards.
Join us at the Women in the Boardroom event, and let’s work together towards a future where diversity and inclusion are not just buzzwords but integral values that drive success and progress in the business world.
