Watermark’s 2015 Board Diversity Index examines the composition of the ASX200 boards. The focus of many diversity discussions has been on gender diversity in the boardroom, both internationally and in Australia. Watermark Board Diversity Index has chosen diversity in the broadest sense across race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other areas of difference from what is considered ‘the norm’. Among the topics explored are changes in work experience, gender and cultural diversity among boards.
