Introduction

There is a growing push for board diversity in Malaysia. Women representation on Malaysian boards have been progressively growing, comprising 28.5% of all board seats in 2023. Despite the commendable progress, more can still be done to achieve the target of 30% women representation in boards. To accelerate this progress, Deloitte introduced the Board-Ready Women Program (BRW) in 2023, in partnership with BoardRoom, Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia, and 30% Club Malaysia.
