The European Union and its member states are also taking an increasingly active approach to corporate governance, including regulations concerning boardroom diversity. Italy, France, Spain, Norway, and others have all enacted boardroom gender quotas, with companies required to fill 30-40% of independent board seats with women.
欧盟及其成员国也在对公司治理采取日益积极的方法，包括关于董事会多元化的监管措施。意大利、法国、西班牙、挪威和其他一些国家都规定了董事会性别比，公司独立董事席位的30—40%必须由女性担任。最近的例子是德国，在经历了激烈的争论后，新的性别比要求，从2016年开始，大公司非执行董事席位的30%必须是女性。
