Update on Women’s Quota for Boards of Directors

A working group of the Coalition Parties agreed, on a minimum number of women in the boards of directors of publicly listed companies.
A corresponding government decision is expected on 6 January following the departmental vote and the participation of the Länder and associations.
The legislative process is therefore only just beginning, but the first details have already been announced.

Dr. Thomas Gennert provides an overview of the planned changes and their effects.
