The world is in turbulence due to the aftershock of the pandemic, the ongoing Russian invasion to Ukraine, energy crises and economic disruptions happening globally. Womens’ rights and especially reproductive rights are in turmoil with serious impacts on the health and safety of women and girls. Discrimination, be it based on e.g., gender, origin, skin color, age or sexual orientation, shows no signs of decrease. There are alarming signals of political extremism and in several arenas minority voices are silenced. You might think that how does this have anything to do with the diversity senior leadership, but it does. Companies are in a powerful position to show that diversity is valued and intentionally sought after.

The Nordic Business Diversity Index aims to paint a picture of what senior leadership looks like in the Nordics. We want the Index to also raise discussion, encourage to ask questions and push us to find ways in which companies can tackle the issue of homogeneous leadership.

So, please, step on board and take a look at the results!
