Ethnicity in Corporate Governance Reporting 2020—Market Standards Trend Report [Archived]

Practice notes

This Market Standards Trend Report was published in 2020 and is not maintained. It examines the recommendations and guidelines for public companies in place at the time of publication in relation to ethnic diversity reporting in the UK, focusing on how these have been interpreted, implemented, and reported on by FTSE 100 constituents. The report also examines developments anticipated to have an impact on this area, and provided companies with expert ‘best practice’ guidance in advance of the target deadline set by the Parker Review for FTSE 100 companies to have at least one ethnic minority director on the board by the end of 2021.
