15% of the 3,000 largest companies in the US still have no female board members via CNBCMakeIt

Though study after study demonstrates that boardroom diversity results in higher returns and lower risk, the percentage of large companies with all-male boards remains high.

Significantly, 31 of the companies among those 457 with no female board members are consumer goods companies, a group that's uniquely reliant on female customers. Women say they make 81 percent of purchasing decisions about daily consumer goods, according to the Statista Global Consumer Survey 2018. In many of these cases, the lack of female representation goes beyond the board. Skechers has an all-male nine-person board and no women on its executive management team. National Beverage Corp has an all-male five-person board and an all-male management team. CNBC reached out to both companies but did not receive a response.

"We are in the final stages with two such candidates and expect to be able to announce next week the addition of two female board members," said TripAdvisor Sr. Director of Corporate Communications Brian Hoyt via email.

MakeIt Good for them.

MakeIt There’s nothing better than hiring people simply because they are a specific gender or skin color, or any other physical characteristic. As a matter of fact, 100% of boards lack members with Down syndrome. No hate, just truth!

MakeIt Why aren't there more women roofers or garbage men (women)?

MakeIt And given what I've read about the studies of the differences between how women and men think, the companies who don't have women at the top are making a huge mistake. They should read the studies, women can save them millions.

MakeIt Women thank the OLD WHITE REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE.

MakeIt So? Don't think there is any surprise.
