Nearly all FTSE 100 firms now have at least one minority ethnic board member

Parker review shows progress - but a handful of top companies still fail to bring end to all-white boardrooms

Nearly all the UK's 100 largest listed companies now have at least one minority ethnic director on their boards, according to the latest update from the government-backed Parker review, which was set up to improve diversity in Britain's boardrooms.

The voluntary survey of FTSE 100 companies showed that 96% of companies in the index had at least one director from an ethnic minority background on their board by the end of 2022.
