The proportion of women on German supervisory boards rose thanks to new appointments at general meetings this spring, while the numbers of foreigners fell, a study released on Monday showed.
The proportion of women rose to 34 percent, while the proportion of foreigners sank to 28 per cent, according to the study by US consultants Russell Reynolds.
While many supervisory board members came from the United States and Europe, there were some regions of the world that were not adequately represented.
The growth markets of Asia, Latin America and Africa were hardly represented at all among board members in DAX-30 companies, the study said, referring to the index of Germany's largest publicly listed companies.
When it came to women on boards, the report said that it was a "golden time" for qualified women who want to succeed at the top level of business.
