The number of women holding board seats in UAE listed firms has more than doubled over in two years, Gulf News reports, quoting Aurora50’s research report Non-executive Board Careers in the UAE: A Path to Gender Balance.
Al Arabiya reports that the UAE’s continued efforts to improve gender diversity in the boardroom have led to more women holding board positions this year (8.9 percent), up from 3.5 percent in 2020, according to research undertaken by Aurora50 and Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG).
In its launch issue, new magazine Sustainability Middle East asked Aurora50 co-founder Diana Wilde how she was creating a sustainable future for the region and what the biggest challenges were.
