Female Board Directors Increase Corporate Social Responsibility

What is happening?  California Management Review says increasing the number of women directors leads companies to improve their environmental, social and corporate governance.

Why is this important? Women directors are more likely to create a Corporate Social Responsibility Committee and more likely to appoint qualified directors to that committee.

How will this be important? “… an effective CSR committee helps the company navigate to a greater level of environmental, social and corporate governance, which in turn creates value including top-line growth, reduced regulatory and legal intervention, and improved productivity.”
