The study aimed to quantify female representation within these leading firms. This figure stands in contrast to the 263 men holding board positions, resulting in a female representation rate of 16.7%. The survey highlighted that the Eastern Company and Misr Fertilizers Production Company (MOPCO) lack any female board members. Additionally, six companies feature a single female board member: Abu Qir Fertilizers, Ezz Steel, Palm Hills Developments, Eipico, Telecom Egypt, and Sidi Kerir Petrochemicals. However, only Edita Food Industries and the New Urban Communities Authority exceed this benchmark, each with three female board members.
