Honor and Shame

Catalyst's 2008 reports on women on boards and women corporate officers was released this week. Among the information they released were lists of companies with over 25% women on boards and women corporate officers. The honor role includes these companies which are in the top 25 on both lists:

• Kraft Foods
• Macy's
• Office Depot

Something to think about when you spend your dollars.

There are over 90 companies that have 25% or more women corporate officers and over 70 that have 25% or more women directors.

The halls of shame (companies with no women directors or no women corporate officers) include these well-known companies:

• Hertz
• Fidelity National Financial
• GMAC
• Hershey
• Apple (darn, I LOVE Apple!)
  
• Blockbuster
• DELL
  

For links to the complete lists go here for corporate officers and here for directors.
