For the first time in nearly two decades, the percentage of women in the C-suite at publicly traded US companies has dropped.

And growth in the percentage of women in senior corporate leadership roles overall barely budged from 2022 to 2023. That’s according to a new report from S&P Global Market Intelligence, which studied gender parity data in regulatory documents and press releases for companies on the S&P Global Total Market Index. “The growth in women’s representation among senior corporate positions, once a bright spot for gender parity, potentially faces an alarming turning point.

” The peak of DEI mentions came in 2020 during the Covid pandemic. But the mentions of “diversity” and “inclusion” in 2023 fell to the lowest levels since 2012. Gender parity goal imperiled None of this is to say that there hasn’t been real progress in narrowing the gender gap since 2005. “Across all roles, women held less than 8% of seats as recently as 2005; versus 22.3% in 2023.

Plugin EVs Take 91.5% Share in Norway's Auto MarketMarch’s auto market in Norway saw plugin EVs taking a 91.5% share, up from 91.1% compared to the previous year. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) alone accounted for almost 90% of the market share. The increase in plugin EVs is attributed to a policy change that came into effect on January 1, which aimed to encourage buyers to choose BEVs over plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). PHEV sales experienced a surge in December 2023, reaching a 16% share, but since January, their share has decreased to 2% in Q1 2024. On the other hand, BEV share has increased from 83% in 2023 to 90.2% in Q1 2024. Although PHEV share is expected to recover slightly in the coming months, it will not reach previous levels due to the policy's focus on promoting BEVs. Overall, the auto market in Norway has seen a decline in volumes for most powertrains, with PHEVs being the most affected, falling to 25% of their year-on-year volume.
