"I voted in favour because it is necessary to reduce gender inequality in corporate management.
I support a strong gesture by Europe with regard to women’s integration into companies at the highest level, in order to prevent a loss of talents and skills in the workforce and to contribute to the performance of companies. Gender diversity has a powerful effect on the results of a company.
It is necessary to act swiftly and with quota systems, because the information available in the European Union is worrying: on average, only 12% of the board members of the largest stock-exchange listed companies are women and just 3% are chief executives. In this sense, it is necessary to give more space to competent, qualified women, and to use the quota system to help them not to be marginalised from the corporate decision-making process.
Lastly, it is important to tackle the root of the problem, by supporting actions to orient young women more towards scientific and technological studies, enabling them to reach top positions in sectors with low female representation."@en1
