Fewer women in top positions at listed companies - Institutional investors’ presence declines - The role of minorities strengthens - Consob publishes its latest Report on corporate governance
The presence of women in top positions as chairs and chief executive officers at Italian listed companies has declined. The participation of institutional investors, particularly foreign investors, in the ownership structure of companies listed on Borsa Italiana has also decreased. These are among the main new findings of Consob’s 2025 Report on corporate governance, published on 2 July 2026. The Report also highlights the growing weight of companies that have adopted the one-tier corporate governance model, the now structural presence of independent directors, and the strengthening of minorities on boards of directors. The delisting trend continues: at the end of 2025, 185 Italian companies were listed in Milan, compared with 196 at the end of 2024.
