FYI: A year ago, State Street Global Advisors issued a mandate for increased female representation on corporate boards, and erected its “Fearless Girl” statue near the Charging Bull of Wall Street as a visual representation of this directive. Fearless Girl attracted countless tourists and responses, as it came to symbolize the call for gender equality in the workplace. In its original statement, SSGA said that it would give companies in the Russell 3000, FTSE 350, and S&P/ASX 300 one year to address their overall lack of female directors or as an advisor to many of them, would vote down initiatives brought by nominating and/or governance committees. As we approach that one-year mark and International Women’s Day 2018, how much has changed?
Was SSGA’s Campaign Successful?
