FEMALE LEADERSHIP AND FIRM PROFITABILITY (EVA in Finland)

The findings of the EVA Analysis indicate that a company led by a female CEO is in practice about ten per cent more profitable that a corresponding company led by a male CEO. The share of female board members has a similar positive impact. The analysis is available in English. Further information: www.eva.fi
