Studies show only 5% of FTSE 100 CEOs are women
Studies suggest that in 2020, only 5% of FTSE 100 CEOs are women. The FTSE 250 is even further behind, with just 2%. Furthermore, 7% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women.
This is your opportunity to be at the forefront of our movement to change these statistics and be part of the debate, celebrating, championing and changing the working world for women.
We have made it our mission to create a platform for women in Governance, Risk and Compliance to be recognised, celebrated and supported by their peers, and this is your opportunity to help set the precedent and be part of the change, showing your workforce through action that equality matters.

How are the winners chosen? Following the shortlisting process (which is done internally by our editorial team), the successfully shortlisted applications will be handed over to our judging panel. The Women in Governance, Risk and Compliance Awards judging panel has supporters from multiple sectors, with each of our judges allocated to categories that match their areas of expertise. Entries will be judged based on the answers provided within the application form, The judges will mark each question and give a rating out of 10, along with comments to justify their scoring. As with any judging process, there is an element of subjectivity around judging, so applicants should aim to provide as much information as possible. Judges will review applications independently. |
