La loi Copé-Zimmermann du 27 janvier 2011 instaure progressivement d’ici 2017 la représentation équilibrée des femmes et des hommes au sein des Conseils d’administration et de surveillance des sociétés cotées et des plus grandes sociétés non cotées. Dans le contexte de la mise en oeuvre de la loi, le présent guide a été écrit pour accompagner les femmes désireuses de devenir administratrices en leur donnant différents éclairages sur la vie des conseils et les parcours pour y accéder. Cet ouvrage propose des conseils pratiques sur la démarche individuelle à développer, les formations existantes, la recherche et l’acceptation d’un mandat. Enfin, de nombreux témoignages viennent illustrer le propos.

“Women@Work No 8: Women on Boards – Moving Mountains” (OUT OF PRINT)
Authors: Mirella Visser and Annalisa Gigante
128 pages, December 2007
EuropeanPWN provides compelling evidence for the need to promote more women board members to European companies. The EuropeanPWN BoardWomen monitor conducted by Egon Zehnder in 2006 showed that only 8.5% of corporate boardroom seats in the top 300 European companies are held by women. In “Women on Boards – Moving Mountains”, EuropeanPWN in association with Mercer, analysed the profiles of the 100 top women compared to their male counterparts and provides advice for both companies and women on board diversity.
