About the program
As the most extensive annual research in the Nordics, the Nordic Business Diversity Index 2025 explores the diversity landscape of top leadership in listed companies across Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, and Norway. This year we have analysed over 10,000 board and executive members from over 800 companies.
With the theme The Future of Talent, this year's report addresses how diverse leadership is critical to navigating an era defined by digitalisation, extended careers, intergenerational collaboration, and heightened societal expectations. As technology, automation, and AI redefine productivity, and as employees and customers call for meaningful action on climate change, inclusion, and well-being, companies with diverse, purpose-driven leadership will be best positioned to thrive.
Looking forward to seeing you at the event, we are excited to have you join us for the Launch!
