Women in Finance - Beyond the numbers (2023)

The 100% Project and The Group of 100 has partnered in this research project aimed to understand the current gender DEI initiatives in Australian ASX100 organisations, the common barriers to improvement and key factors that differentiate successful initiatives.

In particular, this research focuses on finance professionals, giving voice to gender DEI experiences to a profession and a function outside the Human Resources department, where most current gender DEI initiatives originate and operate. The purpose of this report is to inform today’s leading CFOs of an unbiased assessment of the key elements underpin successful gender DEI initiatives, which in turn, contribute to creating better businesses for tomorrow.
