“Even as we debate the business case for board diversity, it is clear that at the minimum there is already a valid question for each board to consider – how to meet the need of investors to understand the company’s approach to the issue. Simply ignoring the question will not inspire investor confidence. Respecting investors’ valid needs for information will require well thought-through communications on how the company deals with board diversity, now and in the future, to secure sustainable success.”
