Leading up to International Women's Day 2024, the second research findings of Accelerate 50/50 have been released: an update of the foundation laid in 2023. The research focuses on the current status and progress of gender-balanced leadership at the top of the financial sector. The 2024 report reveals several key findings and highlights that, although the financial sector is slowly but surely accelerating. In particular, the insurance sector leads the way in this regard. Here, the number of women on executive boards increased by 7% to 30%. The insurance sector in particular leads the way in this regard. The supervisory boards in FSI now meet the statutory minimum percentage of 33%. The report was launched on March 1st, during an Inspiring event hosted by Athora Netherlands with the use of a launch video. The first copy of the 2024 report was presented to Richard Weurding, Director of the Verbond van Verzekeraars.
