Gender Diversity and Financial Performance of Top 100 Companies of Pakistan

Abstract

Businesses with a higher proportion of women in leadership roles are more successful. Excluding
women from the boardroom is immoral solely based on gender. Failure to comply with the law
might result in catastrophic losses if your company's governance structure is inadequate. The
financial impact of gender imbalance will be evaluated in this study. The proportion of female
directors in Asian and Anglo-American courtrooms varies significantly. Women's involvement
on corporate boards of directors has been criticized in Pakistan for its efforts to promote CSD
practices while simultaneously expanding the presence of women. It is critical for Pakistani
publicly listed firms to have a diverse staff to deal with communication, adaptability, and change
difficulties effectively. WCCI aims to analyze the impact of gender diversity on financial
performance in Pakistan Public listed companies. A diverse board of directors, especially in
terms of gender, may be advantageous to a company's long-term success. Having a more varied
table enables us to better understand how to effectively target our products and services to
certain market segments. It also enables additional options to be explored when making business
decisions.
