The HESTA 40:40 Vision Progress Report arrives at a pivotal moment.

With just five years remaining until the 2030 deadline for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this second biennial report provides both a measure of progress and a clear call to action on achieving gender balance in ASX300 executive leadership teams by 2030.

Gender diversity has long been a focus of Australia’s responsible investment agenda.

Initiatives such as the 30% Club and Australian Council of Superannuation Investors (ACSI’s) work on board diversity have laid strong foundations, and it is encouraging to see that commitment endure even amid global volatility and changing international policy landscapes.

Notably, 95% of surveyed 40:40 Vision signatories reported no change to their company’s commitment or approach to gender diversity.
