The Parker Review Report 2026
In the 2017 report, a series of recommendations were made and a “One by ‘21” target was set. The aim was for all FTSE 100 boards to have at least one director from an ethnic minority background by December 2021. A “One by 2024” target was set for all FTSE 250 boards.
The latest report, issued on 10 March 2026, showed that 98 FTSE 100 companies met the target, with at least one minority ethnic director on their boards, which represents the highest level recorded since the review began. This is a significant increase from 2016, when only 47 FTSE 100 companies had a director from a minority ethnic group.
