The study found that women held 7.4% of all board seats.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Key Findings<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Over half of the top Canadian industrial (55%) and financial companies (54%) have women on their boards. However, the number of women directors serving on these companies&#8217; boards is relatively small: <strong>out of 1,915 directors in the top 200 industrial and service companies, only 142 or 7.4% are women.<\/strong> The numbers are comparatively better among financial institutions, where 1.3% of the total number of board directors are women, or 129 out of a total 1,053. For both business areas, the list of companies <em>without <\/em>female board representation remains considerable. These companies provide a wide range of products and services, including those that rely primarily on women consumers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2036\" src=\"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/1.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"814\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/1.jpg 814w, https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/1-300x104.jpg 300w, https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/1-768x265.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Among the top 200 industrial and service companies, General Motors of Canada has the largest number of women board directors at 4 out of 9 total directors. Two financial institutions, however, beat these numbers with two companies having 6 women directors each: Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (6 out of 32) and Credit Union Central of British Columbia (6 out of 15).<\/li>\n<li>If one were to look at the companies with the highest <em>percentage <\/em>of women board directors, Xerox Canada Inc. wins out among industrial and service companies with 66.7% representation of women at 2 female board directors out of 3. General Motors of Canada comes second with 44.4% (4 out of 10) of its board being women. Among the top 100 financial institutions, Vancouver City Savings Credit Union has the highest percentage of female board representation: 50% since five of its ten-member board of directors are women.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To <strong> order a copy<\/strong> of the 1998 CWDI Report on Canada, <a href=\"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/CWDI-Order-Form.pdf\"><strong> please click here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1998 CWDI Report: Women Board Directors of Canada&#8217;s Publicly-Listed Companies The 1998 CWDI Report: Women Board Directors of Canada&#8217;s Publicly-Listed Companies focuses on top 200 industrial and service companies based in Canada.
