E&B Financi'Elles Barometer 2026

Ethics & Boards × Financi'Elles · 06 Jul 2026

Gender balance across the governing bodies of the panel's 17 major financial groups — from AXA to Société Générale and the Banque de France. The 2026 read: the panel caught up with the SBF 120 in 2024 and keeps widening its lead, now almost 13 points ahead on executive committees. Partner to Financi'Elles since 2016.

The fifth Ethics & Boards × Financi'Elles Barometer marks an important step in measuring progress on gender balance in leadership bodies. The latest results show encouraging advances, but they are also a reminder that lasting progress rests on collective commitment, concrete action and long-term effort — investing in education, challenging stereotypes, encouraging women into technology and AI careers, and fostering more balanced representation in decision-making bodies.
