Christiane Benner:“The women’s quota on German executive boards marks a breakthrough in terms of gender equality. It’s long overdue, but it’s only a start and applies to only about 75 companies. All others can continue to stick with the ‘zero target’—meaning zero women on the board. That’s not a goal; it’s a damning indictment. IG Metall calls on the grand coalition to do more in this area. At the same time, we will continue to advocate for the advancement of women in workplaces and on supervisory boards.”
