The 2024 Break the ceiling touch the sky® 101 Best Companies for women in leadership Index (BTC 101 Global Index) lists the companies with the best gender diversity figures on their Boards and executive leadership teams, resulting in a composite gender diversity score for each Company reviewed. The 2024 Break the ceiling touch the sky® 101 Best Global Companies for women in leadership Index is based on research conducted by House of Rose Professional Pte across the world’s 500 largest Companies (by annual sales) covering over 10000 C- suite executives. Research window was Oct – Dec 2023.  A further parameter was used to remove outlier bias with a compulsory “over 20%” female executive presence on Board and Management team of each Company  being a primary filter for consideration for the BTC 101 Global Index.  Any company under consideration should additionally have at least 3 members on its executive management team to be considered for the BTC 101 Global Index.

 

This is the fifth annual BTC 101 Global Index published since 2020 and is the baseline and tracker for  House of Rose Professional’s  Mission 2029 for a Better World –   which aims to shape a better world via better diversity & inclusion, better leadership and better business. The Measure for MISSION 2029 for a Better World is to  quintuple the number of Female CEOs  and double the number of male (advocates for diversity) CEOs in the World’s 500 largest Companies by 2029 given the reality that more women in leadership = better financial results, better employer brand and more compliant and innovative businesses. The world’s 500 largest Companies generate $41 trillion in revenues. HORP  believes that by transforming gender diversity at the top of these 500 companies first we can change the trajectory of global business for the better and influence a more sustainable, better world. It is to be noted that the smallest Company on the 500 largest Companies has annual revenue of over 30 Billion USD in 2022. As such Companies smaller than this would NOT be eligible for consideration for the BTC 101 Global Index.

 

This is a  fact-based computation of gender diversity at the top. A spot on the Index cannot be bought, influenced or negotiated. This is not part of any certification or subscription program. 

 

Companies featured on the 2024 BTC 101 Global Index and many other great Companies will share their best practices for diversity & inclusion, leadership and success at the 2024 World Tour of Break the ceiling touch the sky® – the success and leadership summit for women  through the 2024 year starting with an exclusive briefing session by Female CEOs for the network on March 7 in celebration of International Womens Day and then continuing  with the 2024 Americas Edition of Break the ceiling touch the sky on July 16, 2024 and other editions of the summit across the world including Europe, the Middle East, Africa, China, etc and the annual world edition in Singapore.
