Therefore, at breakfast the following issues were addressed:
- In what situation is the presence of women in the governing bodies?
- What benefits does this balance bring, not only for companies, but for the social and economic system in which we live?
- What factors can contribute to achieving greater gender balance in the governing and management bodies?
- Is the Family Business a more or less favorable context for the development of more balanced scenarios? Why?
- What specific aspects of family businesses can help or hinder this goal? What can be done from the family and business level in this regard?
