The Dataset
Boardminder currently tracks 4,655 board seats across 409 publicly traded companies in the 2026 Fortune 500. Companies are matched and verified using public company records and SEC filings. Coverage reflects companies for which Boardminder has established sufficiently reliable public board data and does not include private companies. It is not an official Fortune dataset.
Scores are shown to two decimal places. Rankings use the full underlying score, so directors with the same displayed score may rank differently. Exact ties share the same rank.
