The Challenge asks that organizations make two aspirational commitments to increase diversity on boards and in senior management over time and report on their progress. Participating companies, organizations and not-for-profits agree to voluntarily take action towards achieving meaningful and substantive improvements in supporting diversity and inclusion within their organization.
As of May 19, there are more than 1500 organizations taking part in the 50-30 challenge.
