Fortune 500 companies with the highest representation of women board directors attained significantly higher financial performance, on average, than those with the lowest representation of women board directors, according to Catalyst’s most recent report, The Bottom Line: Corporate Performance and Women’s Representation on Boards. In addition, the report points out, on average, notably stronger-than-average performance at companies with three or more women board directors.

Catalyst, an advocacy group, has produced several studies showing thatFortune 500 corporations with high percentages of female board members outperform those with low percentages. Global surveys by Credit Suisse and index provider MSCI found similar evidence that companies with women on their boards did better than those without -- and MSCI also found that "companies lacking board diversity tend to suffer more governance-related controversies than average."
