Our Work
Pioneering Advocate for Board Diversity
The Thirty Percent Coalition provides a national forum for members to collaborate and share investor-driven strategies to create more demand for diverse candidates on corporate boards. We provide opportunities for members to communicate, share ideas and insights, learn best practices and work together as peers. Through coordination of our members, we create solutions and strategies that increase gender, racial/ethnic, LGBTQ+ and disability participation on corporate boards.
Our Impact
To date, the Coalition and its members have worked tirelessly on the following campaigns and initiatives:
- The multiyear “Adopt a Company” campaign with our institutional investor members, which has influenced more than 500 public companies to appoint a woman to their boards, many for the first time.
- Regional investor diversity efforts that work with the Coalition in a complementary way, such as the Midwest and Northeast Diversity Initiatives and the California Investors Group.
- The Private Equity Board Candidate Program, which helps private equity firms broaden their networks of diverse board candidates across all industries.
- Tailored committees – including institutional investors, private equity, and corporate leaders – to share best practices, build relationships, and connect with resources that help build diverse company boards.
- Advocacy for legislative and regulatory policies that encourage board diversity, including meetings with the SEC Chair and Commissioners and Congressional hearings.
