schillingreport 2025 – 20 years of Transparency at the Top

For 20 years, the schillingreport has been analysing the composition of executive boards and, for the past 15 years, of supervisory boards of the 100 largest Swiss employers. During this time, the share of women in executive boards has increased from 4% in 2006 to currently 22%, and in supervisory boards from 10% in 2010 to 33% today. In 2006, not a single company had at least 30% women in its executive board, whereas today, 31 companies have reached this mark. Only 23 companies currently have no women in their executive board, compared to 88 in 2006. This greater diversity is also reflected in lower management levels and is expanding the Gender-Diversity-Pipeline. At the same time, executive boards are composed increasingly international.
