World Economic Forum Annual Report 2023-2024 "Leadership and Governance" (Sep 9, 2024) summarises Forum operations across 10 centres, initiatives, coalitions and flagship reports. The Forum was established in 1971 as a not-for-profit foundation, remains independent and impartial, and is headquartered in Geneva with offices in Beijing, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo. Operational data: total headcount of 990 as of 30 June, up 9% on the prior year; 97 nationalities represented (up from 95); 884 partnerships closed the fiscal year (an increase of 39). The Forum improved the proportion of women in executive leadership and an August 2023 salary analysis found no significant gender pay gap. Useful baseline for SEA mid-market boards benchmarking institutional governance disclosures.
