It’s been two years since State Street Global Advisors first launched the Fearless Girl campaign, and since then more companies have responded to the asset manager’s call to action by either adding a female director or committing to do so.
Concluding its second year, out of the 1,265 companies identified globally by State Street that lack a female board member, 423 have now responded to the firm’s call by adding a female director to their previously all-male boards and another 22 have committed to do so, the firm said in the update.
On the campaign’s second anniversary, the firm also announced that it has brought its Fearless Girl campaign to London with a new statue in Paternoster Square.
