摘要

在推迟了10年之后,欧盟于2022年11月通过了《关于改善上市公司非执行董事性别平衡的指令》。该指令对欧盟上市公司董事会中代表性不足的性别规定了40%的配额。其目的是使公司董事会多元化,从而促进经济增长和性别平等(以及其他目标)。在本文中,我着眼于该指令的机制,并考虑其实际效果和潜在影响。我还想问,该指令是否因为未能有效考虑执行董事的多样性,而错过了在性别平等方面做出更切实改变的机会。我得出的结论是,起草的《指令》在10年前可能是合适的,但在今天不一定合适。过去10年的变化有可能意味着该指令在其预定的2038年结束日期之前就过时了。董事会多元化,性别平等,配额,董事,公司法,公司治理,欧盟

The EU Directive on Women on Boards
After 10 years of delay, in November 2022 the EU passed the Directive on improving the gender balance among non-executive directors of companies listed on stock exchanges. This Directive imposes a 40% quota in respect of the underrepresented gender for listed company boards in the EU. The aim is to diversify corporate boardrooms and thereby boost economic growth and gender equality (among other objectives). In this paper I look at the mechanisms of the Directive and consider their practical effect and potential impact. I also ask whether the Directive has missed an opportunity to make a more tangible difference to gender equality by failing to effectively consider executive director diversity. I reach the conclusion that the Directive, as drafted, might have been suitable 10 years ago but is not necessarily today. The changes of the last 10 years threaten to mean the Directive becomes obsolete before its pre-destined end date in 2038. boardroom diversity, gender equality, quota, directors, company law, corporate governance, European Union
