Executives: The proportion of women in the top management of real estate companies is declining
More women in leadership positions increase a company's economic success. Nevertheless, there are increasingly fewer women in top positions. How can a change of course be achieved?
The Expo Real in Düsseldorf will likely show a predominantly male crowd, reflecting the male-dominated real estate industry. According to the Female Board Report by Initiative "Frauen in Führung" (FiF), women hold 17.5% of leadership positions in the top 200 real estate companies as of July, a slight decrease from 2025. The report warns that if this trend continues, the proportion of women in leadership positions may decline further.
Research by Mc Kinsey in 2024 found that companies with diverse leadership teams are more likely to be profitable, with European companies having a 60% higher chance of above-average profitability.
