Ubisoft's Sexual Misconduct Scandal Reveals Governance Gaps

Following recent accusations of widespread, systemic sexual misconduct at the family-run video game company Ubisoft, CGLytics has assessed the company's financial performance and corporate governance practices. With reports of a toxic culture and sexism, how does Ubisoft's board diversity (including gender diversity), board effectiveness and director expertise measure up?

Ubisoft, best known for the Assassin's Creed franchise, has been shaken by allegations of serious misconduct. Reported cases include 'subtle forms of sexism' and 'sexual assault' and were apparently mishandled by the company's human resources department. These reports come as the video gaming industry faces its own #Metoo movement.
