Methods: Sampling in this study used the purposive sampling method taken from the annual reports of companies in the food and beverage manufacturing sector for 2016–2022. Finding: It was found that the term and nationality of the board of directors has an effect on firm value. While gender diversity, age and educational background of the board of directors has no effect on firm value. Novelty: In this study the authors focus on board diversity with complete indicators.
