Schilling report

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Schillingreport (spelling: schillingreport ) is an annual study that collects data on the composition of the management bodies of the Swiss economy and the public sector.

history

The Schillingreport first appeared in 2006. The Zurich executive search company Guido Schilling AG was responsible for the publisher. At that time, the executive floors in Switzerland were in the public interest because of high wages and the federal popular initiative "against rip-off" launched in 2005 . In order to make a contribution to more transparency in the executive suite, the Schillingreport took a closer look at the composition of the top in the largest Swiss companies.

The Schillingreport has been examining the composition of the executive boards since 2006 and the boards of directors of the 100 largest Swiss companies since 2010 . Since 2016, the evaluation has also taken into account the public sector with the top management of the cantons and the federal administration . Also since 2016, the editors of the study have been surveying the 250 most important companies in Switzerland every two years about their proportion of women in the entire workforce and in the management levels below the executive board. The Schillingreport thus determines the gender diversity pipeline of the companies, which shows the potential of women who can develop to the next higher management level.

report

The Schilling Report distinguishes between three data sets. The data set for the private sector includes the 100 largest Swiss employers. The data set for the public sector includes the 26 cantons and the federal administration. For the gender diversity pipeline, the Schillingreport takes into account the 250 most important Swiss companies.

The reference date for the surveys falls on December 31 each year.

The first main chapter examines the composition of the executive boards and boards of directors of the private sector as well as the composition of the top management and the Swiss federal and government councilors . In addition, the first chapter collects the experience and areas of responsibility of the committee members.

The second main chapter examines the proportion of women in the private and public sectors as well as the gender diversity pipeline of the participating companies. The latter is broken down by industry .

The third main chapter examines the nationalities in the executive boards and boards of directors of companies in the private sector.

In the fourth main chapter, the Schilling Report analyzes the various sub-groups of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and Board Presidents , SMI companies , state-affiliated companies and publicly owned companies, as well as cantonal banks .

The Schilling Report appears in German, French and English. The editor is Guido Schilling, Managing Partner at the Swiss executive search companies Guido Schilling AG and Schilling Partners AG.

meaning

The Schillingreport gained notoriety in Switzerland because it supports the discussion on diversity in management bodies with statistical data. The small changes in the proportion of women, especially in management, have made the call for a women's quota louder. In 2019, the proportion of women on boards of directors was 21 percent and on executive boards 9 percent. Only in 49 percent of the companies examined do women sit on the executive board. As part of its message on the amendment of the Code of Obligations (company law), the Swiss Federal Council relied on figures from the Schilling Report in order to establish legal benchmarks in Switzerland, as in other European countries, for the representation of both genders on the board of directors and management. In large listed companies, women are to occupy at least 30 percent of the seats on the board of directors and 20 percent in the executive board. If a company does not meet the guideline values, however, no sanctions are provided, it just has to explain itself.
