The Break the ceiling touch the sky® 101 Best Companies for women in leadership Index is the baseline study for  House of Rose Professional’s  Mission 2029 –   which aims to quintuple the number of Female CEOs  and double the number of male (advocates for diversity) CEOs in the World’s top 500 Companies  (aka the Fortune Global 500) by 2029. The world’s largest 500 Companies generate $41 trillion in revenues and employ close to 70 million people and control one-third of the world’s GDP.  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 considered for this study has annual revenue of over 32 Billion USD.

The 2025 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 covering over 10000 C- suite executives. Research window was Oct to Dec 2024. The Index primarily looks at the gender balance across Boards and Management teams at each Company and determines the composite gender diversity across both for every one of the 500 Companies.  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 Best 101. Any company under consideration should additionally have at least 3 members on its executive management team.

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