The latest data reveals that, since the 2017 Review, 11 additional FTSE 100 companies now have an ethnic minority director on their board. This compares to 37% of FTSE 100 boards in 2020 (31 out of 83 companies surveyed). In 2017, over 50% of FTSE 100 boards (51 out of 100 companies analysed) had no ethnic minority representation on their boards. Indeed, it concludes that it will be challenging for FTSE 100 companies to hit the ‘One by 2021’ target recommended by the Review in 2017. However, according to today’s Parker Review report– which, due to GDPR restrictions since the first report is based on voluntary data submissions – the pace of progress has been slower than hoped. In its first report, published in 2017, the Review made a series of recommendations and set a target for all FTSE 100 boards to have at least one director from an ethnic minority background by 2021 - ‘One by 2021’.
