The bank is the latest firm to eschew a lack of diversity in corporate governance.
The era of the white, all-male board is coming to an end.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer David Solomon issued the latest ultimatum Thursday from Davos. Wall Street’s biggest underwriter of initial public offerings in the U.S. will no longer take a company public in the U.S. and Europe if it lacks a director who is either female or diverse. Asia is not yet included in the firm’s new policy.
The mandate is the latest in a series of signals that non-diverse boards and management are unacceptable. BlackRock Inc. and State Street Global Advisors are voting against directors at companies without a female director. Public companies with all-male boards based in California now face a $100,000 fine under a new state law.
Goldman Sachs acknowledged that “diversity” has other meanings around the world — including in Asia, where racial dynamics are different and gender disparities are sometimes even more glaring. The company said in a statement Friday that it intends to eventually expand its board-diversity mandate beyond the U.S. and Europe.

So how can Snow White and Seven Dwarves float their mining company in the present time?

I guess, they will have to get more diversity. Maybe hire the Rapy, Stabby and Bomby dwarves.

Of course the next step after Europe and its off-shoots have been diluted and left to rot would be to move to Asia, particularly China to spread the creed of Politically Correct Libturd Thought Control.

Yes, they hate white people more than anything. East Asia would make sense, when looking at Arabs, Africans and South Americans.
