Bernard Byrne and Carol Andrews, co-chairs of B4BB, a business-led review group formed to improve and promote gender balance at board and leadership level of Irish business.

Irish companies need to do more to promote women into leadership roles to sustain recent years of gender balance progress, say the co-chairs of the Balance for Better Business (B4BB).

B4BB is an independent business-led review group established by the government in July 2018 to improve and promote gender balance at board and leadership level of Irish business. B4BB’s latest report shows that the share of women on the leadership teams of ISEQ 20 companies has dipped a little from 27% to 24%.
