European Corporate Governance Barometer 2026
Board composition, diversity, demographics, committees and remuneration across the STOXX Europe 600, benchmarked against US peers. The 2026 read: Europe consolidates its diversity lead — women hold 27.8% of executive-committee seats — but shows strategic gaps on technology and geopolitics. Issued by ecoDa in cooperation with Ethics & Boards.
We are pleased to share the second edition of the European Corporate Governance Barometer, published with ecoDa, the European Confederation of Directors' Associations representing national institutes of directors across Europe.
The Barometer examines governance practice at STOXX Europe 600 and S&P 100 companies, covering board structure, diversity, composition, committees and remuneration (comparing the Eurozone 300 with the FTSE 100), together with board evaluation practice across the Eurozone 300.
