Diversity Until 1 January 2020 Dutch law required large Dutch companies to pursue a policy of having at least 30% of the seats on both the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board held by men and at least 30% of those seats held by women. Although the Nomination & Governance committee of Euronext already acts in line with requirements in this respet as set in clause 2.2.5 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, following a report of the Dutch “Sociaal Economische Raad” new legislation for Dutch listed is expected in the first half of 2020. In line with the expected legislation Euronext strives for appropriate and ambitious diversity targets at the top and sub top. Euronext qualifies as a large Dutch company and has set a goal to improve the the gender diversity targets with respect to the Managing Board, as less than 30% of its members are women. This is partly related to historical circumstances and partly to the sectors in which Euronext is active. The Managing Board is geographically balanced and is composed of members from each local Euronext market operator. Out of twelve members (including Extended Managing Board members and Stéphane Boujnah), three members are female. The Senior Leadership team in 2019 was composed of 33% of women. The balance of country representation was the following: 52% France, 12% the Netherlands, 4% United Kingdom, 6% Portugal, 4% Belgium, 7% Ireland, 9% Norway, 1% Spain and 3% United States. The average age of this group is 45 years. Euronext will continue to promote gender diversity within its Managing Board by striving to increase the proportion of female members by taking into account all relevant selection criteria including, but not limited to, gender balance, with regard to future appointments.
