FTSE 100 CEO

The Equality Group FTSE 100 CEO Diversity Data 2021 is a report which collected the latest data on the diversity of CEOs in the FTSE 100. In 2018, an INvolve report revealed there were more CEOs named Dave and Steve than there were women and ethnic minorities.

Three years on, Equality Group reviewed and analysed the diversity of leaders in the UK’s most powerful and valuable companies.

"It is concerning to see there has been a decrease in the number of ethnic minority CEOs since the report by INvolve was published in 2018. After three years, one would also hope to see more female CEOs appointed, but we have only moved by one percent. When so many companies talk about valuing DEI, it’s disappointing to see the lack of visible results at the most senior levels of leadership."
