Core offering

The 30% Club operates a global business-led voluntary campaign to increase female representation on boards and in C-suites. It delivers this through free chair/CEO membership commitments, cross-company mentoring programmes, business school scholarships, investor groups, the Board Connections directory, and the Future Boards Scheme. Programmes are run directly by 30% Club chapters and via delivery partners such as Moving Ahead and Catalyst.

Product overview

The 30% Club is a business-led global campaign organization (not a technology company) focused on achieving at least 30% representation of women on boards and C-Suites globally. The organization operates through a portfolio of interconnected programs including cross-company mentoring initiatives (Mission: Gender Equity, Mission INCLUDE, Mission INCLUDE Americas, Executive Accelerator), business school scholarship partnerships, Investor Groups across 10+ countries, the Future Boards Scheme, and Board Connections directory. The core offering functions as a platform of interconnected programs enabling gender diversity at leadership levels, with regional chapters adapting programs to local markets.

Direct peers

• Lean In Foundation: Sheryl Sandberg-founded nonprofit advancing women through small peer circles, education, and corporate partnerships. Like the 30% Club, it focuses on women in leadership, but its approach emphasizes grassroots circles rather than board-level CEO commitments.
• International Women's Forum (IWF): Global membership organization of senior women leaders across countries and industries. Comparable to the 30% Club in promoting women into board and C-suite roles, though structured as a peer-membership network rather than a CEO-led campaign.
• Paradigm for Parity: US coalition of business leaders committed to achieving gender parity in corporate leadership by 2030. Closely comparable mission to the 30% Club's Path to Parity focus.
• Catalyst: Global nonprofit working to advance women in workplace leadership. Catalyst operates the Women on Board programme in direct partnership with the 30% Club USA, making it the closest comparable peer in the gender-diversity-at-board-level space.
• theBoardlist: Curated marketplace connecting board-ready women with board opportunities. Listed as a 30% Club partner, and serves an essentially identical mission to the 30% Club's Board Connections directory.
• WomenCorporateDirectors (WCD): Global membership community of women corporate directors focused on advancing women on boards. Highly comparable to the 30% Club's Board Connections directory and pipeline-building mandate.

Others

• Moving Ahead: Founder/CEO Liz Dimmock sits on the 30% Club UK Steering Committee; Moving Ahead delivers the 30% Club's mentoring programmes. Functionally an enabling partner rather than peer, but a critical operational layer.
• McKinsey Women in the Workplace: Annual research report (with Lean In) tracking the state of women in corporate America. Functions as a complementary thought-leadency data source to the 30% Club's research outputs but does not run campaigns.

Regional players

• African Women on Board: Pan-African initiative placing women on corporate boards across the continent. Overlaps with the 30% Club's emerging Africa chapters (East Africa, Southern Africa) but focuses exclusively on African markets.
• FTSE Women Leaders Review: UK government-backed annual review tracking women on FTSE 350 boards and executive committees. Operates in the same data and accountability domain as the 30% Club UK but focuses on measurement rather than campaign mobilization.
