The 30% Club launched in the UK in 2010 with a goal of achieving a minimum of 30% women on FTSE-100 boards - currently the figure stand at 26% up from 12.5%. Accelerated progress has been achieved through the leadership of Chairs and CEOs, our Members.

As of 2016, we have extended the scope of our original target and the goal is now a minimum of 30% women on FTSE-350 boards by 2020 (currently at 22.2%). In tandem with this - and in order to ensure that this 30% remains sustainable - we are also aiming to reach a minimum of 30% women on Executive Committees of FTSE-100 companies by 2020 (currently at circa 15%).

UK membership is open to Chairs and CEOs of listed companies, Managing Partners of professional services firms, and heads of public sector organisations and academic institutions, as well as non-listed companies on a case by case basis based on size and strategic fit.

Automotive
Main aims

The Automotive working group is made up of MDs and CEOs from automotive manufacturing, retailing and supplier companies. Our aim is to fill at least 30% of key leadership positions in our organisations with women, from junior management to board level.

We are implementing a four phase strategy:
- Reach Out - we connect with young women in schools, universities and professional networks through speeches and career events, and offer work experience opportunities
- Welcome In - we examine recruitment and selection practices for unconscious bias
- Pull Through - we investigate ways to improve the rate of promotion of talented women
- Hold On - we implement policies and practices to improve retention levels of women leaders
We work in partnership with the charity Speakers for Schools and the Inspiring Women campaign, and we have support from members McKinsey, the Institute of the Motor Industry, and Loughborough University School of Business and Economics.

Business Schools

Main aims

As part of The 30% Club ‘Balancing the Pyramid’ initiative which aims to encourage and increase the female gender balance at all organisational levels, we are establishing partnerships with a number of business schools globally to rectify the under-representation of women pursuing post-graduate management education by offering Women’s Scholarships. Through these partnerships we seek to build a continuum of change from schoolroom to boardroom, helping women to make the decision to undertake further education, supporting them through the application process, providing them with a mentor during the programme and highlighting the successes and high return on investment afterwards.

Cross-Company Mentoring

Main aims

The objective of the 30% Club’s mentoring scheme is to offer and facilitate a cross-company, cross-sector mentoring programme that will complement existing schemes in the UK market and within individual organisations. The ultimate goal is to broaden the pipeline of female talent coming through participating organisations and make a step change to the number of women attaining senior leadership roles in their respective organisations.

Now in its third year in the UK, the initiative has had tremendous success – this scheme represents the power of mentoring at its best. The cross-company mentoring scheme has recently extended to help build the pipeline and parity of women on sports boards, and now matches women leaders working in sporting organisations with male and female mentors who are leaders of corporate organisations.

Barring exceptional circumstances, we ask that organisations wishing to participate contribute a subscription fee in-line with the number of participants ranging from £4,000 to £8,000. The maximum number of pairs that can participate from each organisation is 30. On the cross-company scheme only, mentors and mentees be in equal numbers. Current cohort comprises 640 participants across 48 organisations. To watch a clip of this year's launch event please click here. For more detailed information please click here and to request our scheme literature please contact Francoise Higson.

Higher Education

Main aims

The Higher Education group focuses on diversity in universities and higher education establishments to encourage a pooling of ideas across both the corporate and the higher education sectors to reduce the gender gap across governing bodies and faculties, as well as to analyse and act to improve the experiences of female students.

Please click here for a copy of the Think Future Study report, commissioned to better understand how university shapes career perceptions and trajectories and whether these vary depending on gender or socio-economic background. The report gives a current perspective on how universities can support Generation Z as they head towards the next stage of their lives, how businesses can best appeal to a generation with different expectations and aspirations and how to nurture this emerging talent stream.

Baroness Mary Goudie
Investors
Main aims

The 30% Club believes that it is important for investors to take into account the proportion of women on boards, when considering company reporting and appointments to the board. Thirty per cent is the figure widely agreed to mark the stage at which contributions of the minority group cease being representative of that particular group and start to be judged on their own merit – in other words, critical mass is achieved. We believe that once 30% is reached, the culture and practices of the board will have changed significantly and as a consequence, further progress towards true balance will naturally follow. The purpose of the group is to help coordinate the investment community’s approach to the issue, in particular:
- to explain the investment case for more diverse boards and executive committees (and workforce in general?)
- to encourage all investors to engage on the issue of board diversity with chairmen and management teams; and
- to consider the issue when voting on the Report & Accounts and the appointment and re-election of board members.

Professional Services Firms

Main aims

The Professional Services Firms’ Initiative is a group of 22 firms who work together to consider ways in which we can support efforts towards increasing gender balance in law firms, accountancy and consultancy. Set up in 2012, in partnership with McKinsey & Co, the group published a study on gender balance at senior levels in these firms. The study revealed that the lower representation of women at senior levels was not driven by disproportionate attrition rates but rather the rate of promotion. The report was a call to action and the group subsequently has focussed on three key areas of sponsorship, work allocation and agile working to develop a common perspective on these issues and provide practical guidance to firms. More recently, the group continues to expand its areas of focus, looking at the female Millenial perspective on the three focus areas and more broadly their experience of professional services firms. Please see this short film about the about the PSF initiative:

Speakers for Schools Partnership

Main aims

In January 2015, the 30% Club launched its collaboration with Speakers for Schools, a charity that organises free talks from eminent professionals and academics for state secondary schools and colleges, by delivering a series of over 20 talks from top business leaders, encouraging girls to see their potential in leadership positions. A host of leading industry executives gave the talks on the theme of ‘Equality Across the Board’ to teenagers to help encourage and make them aware that opportunities and workplaces are changing, especially for women, and gender should not prevent them from fulfilling their aspirations. This programme further develops the 30% Club’s ‘Schoolroom to Boardroom’ campaign, which aims to support young women prior to starting their career, and we warmly encourage our Members to sign up to the initiative and go out to speak in schools.

Theme: Ego & Eco Intelligence
Keynote speaker: Sharon Oliver – Ashridge Executive Education. Sharon holds an MA in Organisational Psychology. Her key areas of specialisation include: Developing internal resourcefulness, Managing emotional diet, Building HR capacity, Managing polarities, Discovering success DNA, Mindfulness, EQ and SQ, The Levity effect (fun and Laughter at work), Heart Intelligence, Women in Global Leadership. She is a Master Practitioner in NLP (neuro-linguistic programming).

Rather than feeling that leaders have to have all the answers, and directing things from the outside through command and control, using their own ego strength and energy (ego-intelligent leaders), eco-intelligent leaders see themselves as catalysts within an inter-dependent eco-system. Sharon’s talk will explore how leaders can bring eco-intelligence to bear on their day-to-day work and create self-sustaining eco-systems where staff can find higher levels of self- expression and purpose.

FAQs

How does the 30% Club UK work?

The organisation and range of activities of the 30% Club has evolved over the period since launch in November 2010. Our members are Chairs, CEOs and equivalents. We also welcome the support of Chairs of EMEA regions of global firms. The Chairs lead by example and some are involved in speaking at events and media opportunities (this is entirely their individual choice).   

The 30% Club is overseen by a Steering Committee, comprising senior women and men with a variety of professional backgrounds. Each member of the Committee is involved in a specific area of activity. The Steering Committee meets three times a year to ensure the campaign adjusts to developments and to plan next stages. There are numerous Working Groups that meet monthly to deal with specific areas of focus.

Brenda Trenowden leads on day-to-day leadership of the 30% Club’s UK activities, with Helena Morrissey involved as founder, advisor and spokesperson.
