How do we use the biggest talents pool?

WWW.JUMP.EU.COM

Actions promoted by governments

“The quota law has opened boardrooms to an extent that we’ve never seen before,” Mari Teigen, research director, Norwegian Institute for Social Research

WWW.JUMP.EU.COM

NorwayNorway was the first country in the world to implement board quotas Numbers of women on corporate boards have risen from only 6% in 2002 to over 40% today.

"By not utilising the full talent pool I knew Norway as a nation was missing out. My ambition as a Minister was to force companies to rethink their board recruiting practices. I believe we succeeded," Ansgar Gabrielsen (Former Minister of Trade)

“We have invested billions educating our daughters as much as our sons,” Gabrielsen said. “Their ongoing exclusion from corporate boards, which are an important part of our society just doesn’t make economic sense”
