NGIM's recently published position on board diversity supports diversity in its broadest sense, with an emphasis on gender diversity based on its concerns about the "persistent underrepresentation of women on boards," which it generally attributes to potentially uninformed, misinformed, or deficient board perspectives or practices.
As a long-term global investor, NBIM indicates that it is concerned that a lack of board diversity may ultimately lead to a loss of trust in its portfolio companies' customers, investors, and the society at large.
