AS an investor on the local bourse, I like seeing diversity in the boards of listed groups. Drawing inputs from people of different genders, nationalities, and work backgrounds helps ensure better decision-making.

Moreover, having diverse boards signals to employees that a group values diversity. This can help the business attract talent from varied backgrounds.
