123 of the largest listed companies have appointed a director of colour on their boards, up from 59 last year
The number of FTSE 350 companies with a director of colour has jumped 108% over the past year, as companies face greater pressure to increase diversity across top leadership roles.
The increase means that 123 of the largest listed firms now have a black, Asian or minority ethnic director (BAME) on the board, up from just 59 last year, according to Thomson Reuters which compiled the data. That accounts for nearly half of the FTSE 350, at 45%.
