Every market regulates board diversity differently. None of them counts everyone.
Europe runs on quotas. The UK counts, comply-or-explain. Hong Kong mandates the policy. Canada names four designated groups. The US repealed the one rule it had. Each briefing covers the regulatory framework, what changed since our last report, and what our 2025–26 data shows.
