In the management boards of companies in the Swiss Leader Index (SLI), the proportion is even lower at 25%. However, the proportion of women there has risen by four percentage points since the beginning of the year.
On average, the SLI companies already meet the future requirements of the Federal Council. This requires a 30% share of women on boards of directors and 20% on executive boards.
The recruitment agency Adecco has the highest proportion of women on its board of directors at 50%, followed by the building materials group Holcim (45%), the dental implant manufacturer Straumann and the asset manager Partners Group (43% each).
