The 2007 Conthe Code “When the number of female Board members is small or zero, the Board needs to explain the reasons why, as well as the initiatives undertaken to correct such situation and, in particular, that the Nomination Committee will provide that, when incorporating new Board members: (a) The selection process does not have any bias that may hinder the nomination of women board members; (b) The company is deliberately looking for, and will include as potential candidates, women that may fulfil the required profile (Unified Good Governance Code, 2006, p 18.)”

Equality Law, 2007 According to Article 75 “Companies … will endeavour to include a sufficient number of women on their Boards of Directors to reach a balanced presence of women and men within eight years of the entry into effect of this act”, Balanced presence being defined by the law as 40/60 of either sex.

Using the “comply or explain” principle, companies with a lower proportion would have to explain if they proposed to fill a vacancy with a man. Chairmen of companies with all-male boards – a quarter of the FTSE 100 – should explain in the annual report why they think this is acceptable.
