30% Club
GROWTH THROUGH DIVERSITY
“Who wouldn’t want their daughters to have the
same opportunities to succeed as their sons? This is
something that affects us all. Companies need to
create an environment where all can strive — and
that responsibility starts at the top.”
Marie O’Connor, Partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers Ireland and Country Lead, 30%
Club Ireland
WHO WE ARE
LEADERS LEADING BY EXAMPLE.
We are a group of Chairs and CEOs committed
to better gender balance at the leadership level —
and throughout our organisations.
The Irish Chapter launched in January 2015
with a goal to working towards a figure of 30%
of women in business leadership positions by
2020 as well as developing a pipeline for
sustainable change in the future.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
We support a voluntary, business-led
approach in order to realize meaningful,
sustainable change.
We believe in less talk, more action — and this
is evident through the various initiatives we
are involved in:
Mentoring
Scholarships
Financial Services Firms
Group
Professional Services Firms
Group
Collaborations
OUR APPROACH
A BUSINESS CHALLENGE REQUIRES BUSINESS THINKING.
Gender inequity in the boardroom is a business
issue, plain and simple. That’s why we apply
these business best practices to our solutions:
• a measurable goal with a defined timetable
• a process driven by those in positions
of genuine authority and power
• a collaborative model in keeping with business
best practices
• a concerted and consistent series of actions
and programs designed for impact
HOW IT WORKS
SHARING RESOURCES AS PEERS. We are a peer-to-peer network of Irish business leaders —
including both those leading by example and those looking to
learn and drive change more effectively in their firms.
There is no financial commitment; the 30% Club is supported by
a Steering Committee that is made up of senior men and
women who volunteer their time and skills to help direct efforts.
We trust in the business community to lead — our approach
is complementary, supportive and 100% compatible with
individual company efforts and existing networking groups.
Each supporting Chair/CEO has invited you to nominate
another executive from their organisation to participate in our
30% Club Ireland Council. The Council meets about three
times a year and influences the development of the 30% Club
in Ireland as events are organised based on feedback received
from these sessions. Topics covered at these events have
included unconscious bias, mentoring, networking, making
role models visible and much more.

Five major influencers critical for success:
WHEEL OF CHANGE
TURNING TOWARD THE FUTURE.
Chair/CEO leadership
“In making appointments we seek to appoint the best people. This necessitates us sourcing from the total available talent pool, not just part of it. What fisherman fishes in half the lake?”
— Gary McGann, Chairman
Executive search community
“The International executive search market is extremely buoyant at present and, within certain sectors, in particular technology, we are starting to see a lot more women moving into leadership positions. However, we need to continue to advocate on behalf of gender equality and the benefits this brings to organizations - which I see as being key to our role as executive recruiters.” — Anne Heraty, CEO
Advocacy
“Consistently advocating for gender diverse
talent in business is an important step towards
achieving it. When that advocacy is matched
with action, it becomes a powerful force in
showing that talented, gender diverse boards
and senior management teams are not only
good for business, but that they are also a
realistic and attainable goal.”
—Michael Jackson, Managing Partner
Shareholder and corporate governance
“Different companies will have different gender balance starting points. But the governance issues for every Board are the same:
Whether they and the leadership team are committed enough and their practices are smart enough to both identify and use the right levers to make substantial progress within the next few years; and
Whether as a Board they are committed enough to give an explicit commitment to engaging with shareholders and to disclosing both targets and performance to them as well as to employees and other stakeholders, as a key part of their overall communication both on culture and on long term business strategy.
The essential Board levers should be on time-bound goals and targets for Board and executive leadership levels, project plans and evaluation processes that are not over-complicated, clarity about who is responsible for delivering what, by when, and a resolve to learn from best practice elsewhere.”
— Michael Buckley, Managing Partner
OUR GLOBAL CHAPTERS
A FOUNDATION TO BUILD ON. With chapters across the globe, we are laying

ACCELERATED PROGRESS
A PRECEDENT FOR CHANGE. The 30% Club launched in Ireland in 2015 with a goal of working towards 30% female representation on boards and executive management by 2020 in Irish business. Perhaps most importantly, the visible commitment of these business leaders has changed the conversation from a women’s issue to a business issue.
