The number of Black executives at the very top of the biggest companies on the London Stock Exchange has fallen to zero.

There are no Black CEOs, CFOs or chairs in the FTSE 100 index for the first time in six years, according to, an executive recruitment and diversity consultancy agency.

"The snowy peaks of British business remain stubbornly white," Trevor Phillips, the chair of Green Park, said in a statement. "We know there is no shortage of qualified candidates to fill these roles if companies are willing to look," he added. Phillips, who used to lead Britain's Commission for Racial Equality, said that shareholders, consumers and employees needed to "start questioning whether Black Lives Matter is just rhetoric rather than reality."

The number of Black people in the leadership pipeline has also fallen over the past year, dimming the prospects for future increases in Black representation at the highest levels of British business. "Corporate leaders need to stop telling us how much they care and do something to show us that black lives really do matter," Phillips added.

Somebody besta be axing why?

Unbelievable! These companies should probably be shuttered immediately. Don’t you think?

Get blown CTV

So?

So the netflix series got it wrong in the middle ages... as well as today

How many white execs at the top of Chinese companies? Chinese at Japanese companies? Blacks in Japanese companies, Indians in Egyptian companies?

Jesus! Why not just change your name to the CTV National Enquirer. Or better yet, go back to reporting on Lisa Laflammes new hair colour.

Would you just stfu already

CTV is racist!

So

So, just because there isn't there should be! All you doing CTV is stirring the pot and looking to create a news story! About what people would expect from a pathetic News source!

aw. all the whites upset for being called on their supremacy is hilarious. i find it amazing not one black candidate is qualified for these positions

And?

Unfollow CTV.

CTV News does not know how to report anything positive . Always putting neighbour against neighbour.

Are there any Chinese, Innu, Mexican or Aboriginal peoples?

CTV News..trying to incite a race war since your liberal government payed them off

Qualifications do NOT come with a colour code. It appears CTV is implying that black people are not qualified and that would make “you” the racists 🖕

Dangerous place to go, don’t you think? Employees are hired based on their qualifications, not their race, social status or who they know-blow🙄

I see a lack of diversity in NBA players! Too many millionaires of one ethic group! What sounds ridiculous? Is it because talents and abilities matter?

This is not news

Good to see the majority of people think this racist BS is getting old. Modern Liberalism will die soon.

As usual corporate media being a globalist arm to divide and conquer. Pathetic

Congrats on continuing the divisiveness called identity politics 👏🏼👏🏼

A click above all else

Does it really matter. Black white Asian Indian. As long as the job gets done. This racial bs is old

so

Really. You need to continue these race wars. This shit has to stop.

CTV stop, just stop.

So?

Now do China

So sick of the fear mongering articles and stories like this!! Are there Asian execs, Latino, Indian, freaking Icelandic execs!? Stop perpetuating this racial 'media'cycle! It does nothing but piss people off! I have black friends and coworkers that get extremely annoyed by this!

There are no Whites at the Black Music Awards. Your move.

Why is this news in Canada? How about our part time black PM never goes to work.

Good example of divisive identity tribal politics

So What!

If there are qualified candidates they should be considered on the same merits as anyone else.

Is it implied from this story that British companies should prioritize skin colour over qualifications? That in itself is racist.

Holy shit Paid Useless MSM media, don’t we have any ridiculous actions from Trudope and his idiot team, that you cover UK,

CTV is racist

So what? Stop making it an issue to be a white person. We can’t cancel everyone like you want to.

Yawwnn

Obviously they're not enough of them qualified to be in those jobs

What is racism for 200 Alex.

So? Employers should hire the best candidate based experience not race!!

There's plenty of blacks working in government and corporations in Africa, yet, they all want to leave it for a white country
