  6. Non-Executive Director – non-executive directors (both independent and non-independent) who are not classified as Chair or Senior Independent Director.
  7. Director – directors whose roles are not known or have not been classified.

Company Secretary – the official company secretaries. Only people are counted here, not corporate company secretaries. The company secretary may also have another role, such as General Counsel.

 LSE Companies – Committees

This view shows the number of current chairs and members (other than the chair) on each of the 3 main board committees for LSE companies.

Numerable currently shows this information for all FTSE 350 companies, and is adding the data for SmallCap companies.

There are 3 main board committees:

  1. Audit Committee – oversees governance responsibilities for audit, risk and internal control – sometimes call the Audit & Risk Committee
  2. Remuneration Committee (RemCo) – advises the board on policies on rewards, incentives, terms and conditions, and related matters
  3. Nomination Committee (NomCo) – monitors the size, composition and balance of the board and manages the recruitment process for new directors

While every UK public company should have an Audit Committee, some (especially investment companies) may not have Remuneration or Nomination Committees.

  LSE Companies – Governance

This view shows a table of board governance and diversity metrics for LSE companies. You can use the checkboxes to select a group of companies (e.g. by FTSE Index, or company industry) and then rank companies, by clicking on the column headers.

The columns are:

  1. Targets Complied With – how many of the 5 board composition governance targets the company complies with.

  4. Percent Female – the proportion of female board members. Compliant if this is 40% or more, as per FCA Listing Rules.
  5. Senior Females – the number of females in senior board positions (CEO, CFO, Chair, SID). Compliant if this is 1 or more, as per FCA Listing Rules.
  6. Ethnic Minority Directors – the number of ethnic minority directors on the board, as disclosed in the last Annual Report – compliant if one or greater, as per FCA Listing Rules

  8. Mean Age (years) – the mean (average) age of current main board directors.

  4. Days From End of FY to Annual Report Publication – the number of days after then the end of the last reported financial year that the Annual Report was published.
    FTSE (main market) companies should publish their Annual Report within 4 months of the end of the FY, while AIM companies should do so within 6 months. If a company has met that target the number of days is shown in green; if not it is orange.
  5. Next Annual Report Due – the date when the next Annual Report is due to be published (4 or 6 months after the end of the FY, as described above).
    The date is green if today is less than 1 year after the previous Annual Report publication; orange if today is more than 1 year after the previous report, but is still before the due date; and red if today is after the due date (i.e. the report is overdue).
  6. Last AGM – the date of the last Annual General Meeting.
