The report was compiled from information publicly available in the form of integrated annual reports for the reporting period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. The research included 247 JSE-listed companies, with 69 not specifically reporting on gender at the board level.
The survey information showed that at least 44 of these companies already achieved their targets in terms of gender policy and did not mention it, while 37 already achieved gender parity or better, and another 33 are close to achieving parity and needed to appoint just one female to the board in place of a male to achieve parity.
These figures are a significant increase from the previous year, but 27 companies still had no female board members, an increase from the previous year.
