The diversity of a company and its success are not only directly related, but their relationship has become increasingly significant in recent years.
According to a series of reports from McKinsey & Company, companies with more gender diversity on their board financially outperform companies with a homogeneous board by 25%. Similarly, those with more ethnically diverse boards financially outperform those with homogeneous boards by 36%.
