By GlobalDataFemale FTSE Index unveiled
Cranfield University’s Cranfield School of Management will today release its yearly Female FTSE Index, which charts the number of women executive directors on the boards of FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 companies.
The index, which has been running since 1999, is considered a key measure of the level of female participation in senior management in UK businesses.
The Female FTSE Board Report 2019 will be published at 11am London time, and will be accompanied by the yearly 100 Women to Watch report.
Post-Brexit farming in the spotlight
The Centre for Food Policy’s Food Research Collaboration will today publish a report into farming in the UK post-Brexit.
The report, which is developed by researchers at the University of Sussex, argues that the country should take the opportunity to adopt sustainable farming initiatives as a core part of its post-Brexit food policy, including a greater focus on encouraging UK citizens to grow their own food.
It also raises the issue of declining wildlife in the UK, arguing that without sustainable farming the UK would see further drops in wildlife and be exposed to greater risks of food shortages.
