Achieving the % of Female Board Members by Matching Numbers Doesn’t Achieve the Original Goal Either

By Aki Matsumoto

  • Since it’s difficult for all prime market companies to achieve the 30% female board members by 2030, the goal may be achieved by including non-statutory executive officers in board members.
  • Companies are stuck in matching numbers, and government is unwilling to address the fundamental issues. There’s risk that original objective of shifting to value-creating management through ensuring diversity is lost.
  • Policy changes to create environment where women don’t have to leave workforce for childbirth, childcare, etc., and to change people’s mindsets are impossible without the leadership of a non-diverse legislature.
