First it was California’s legislature that enacted public-company boardroom diversity legislation in 2018, followed by Goldman Sachs announcement: “no IPO’s for company with all bros” in 2020, then it was NASDAQ, followed by State Street Global Advisors mandating diverse boardrooms requirements for its listed companies, effective 2021.
These global financial institutions have laid down the gauntlet on modernizing boardrooms as the proven path to grow shareholder value, stock performance and long-term value creation.
