The Council for Board Diversity believes that board diversity catalyses robust governance and responsible stewardship, and is a valuable driver for growth. Having diversity in the board brings together the diversity of judgement to chart the best course through uncertainty, challenge, opportunities and risks – applicable to both for-profit and non-profit organisations. The mix of knowledge, skills, experience, gender, age and other relevant features is harnessed to devise strategy and manage its execution. Against this backdrop we believe that including women on boards, in particular, adds a powerful lead-in to the other forms of diversity that bring value to the board’s role in the company. Our mission is to promote a sustained increase in the number of women directors of listed companies, statutory boards and non-profit organisations in Singapore as a stepping stone to broader diversity. Boards with a broad range of diversities embrace open and innovative cultures, hone skills and stimulate acumen to achieve greater heights. The Council is co-chaired by Mr Loh Boon Chye, CEO of Singapore Exchange (SGX) and Mrs Mildred Tan, Chairman of Tote Board Singapore. The Council comprises 20 eminent members with a diverse and strong slate of management and board expertise across the different sectors. President Halimah Yacob is Patron.
