Irish businesses have made significant progress towards gender balance, particularly on the targets set for male and female membership on the boards of publicly listed firms.

The recently published eighth annual report of the Balance for Better Business (B4BB) Review Group has tracked that progress, notably with firms achieving and sustaining the 40%+ target set by B4BB for female membership on Irish company boards.
