Boardroom diversity report shows drop to zero for first time since 2014
There are no black executives in any of the top three roles at Britain’s 100 biggest companies for the first time in six years, according to a report on boardroom diversity.
Annual research from the executive recruitment and diversity consultancy agency Green Park shows that the number of black leaders at FTSE 100 firms has stalled since it first reported in 2014 and has now dropped to zero. The cruise operator Carnival, which is run by a black chief executive, Arnold Donald, dropped out of the FTSE 100 last summer, and the South African businessman Fred Phaswana has retired as the joint chair of the packaging and paper group Mondi.
