Board Diversity
Informa- Women on Boards
Board Statement
Informa plc operates a successful business based on a proven track record of equal opportunity and reward for performance.
Across the senior management of the Group over 35% are women and we are committed to maintaining this level. In 2010, women accounted for 58% of all internal promotions.
At Board level, we believe that the current representation of one female non-executive director (14%) is the minimum acceptable and whilst below the target that has been set for 2015, with a small number of directors this percentage can increase quickly with a new appointment. However, we are reluctant at this stage to increase the size of the Board as a small Board fits Informa's entrepreneurial culture and approach to fast commercial decision making and we do not want to accelerate the departure of existing male non-executives, who are both high quality and high contributors to the Board and the business. As opportunities arise through natural vacancies and rotation, our intention is to ensure we achieve an increasing level of women membership of the Board.
