#DEI
Sustainability is no longer at the fringes of business strategy; it is intrinsic to any successful business' future. We know what we need to do, and why, but the inescapable question is how. The problems we face are no longer future challenges. We are already seeing the crisis unfolding. It is now the time for action.
This year, Reuters Events: Transform USA 2021 (May 4-5) will provide the forum for leaders to come together and share how they're executing strategy that builds resilience and delivers the sustainability transition. Transform USA will guide you through the issues so that you can forge a robust and achievable roadmap to make your business clean, resilient, and just.
Join L. Simone Washington, Director of our new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offering, as she chairs Transform USA's DEI Keynote, which will discuss what business and industry can do to ensure a more just and equal society on May 5 at 1:30 p.m. EST. The panel will also feature Dr. Ronald Copeland, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Kaiser Permanente and Amit Bouri, Chief Executive Officer, Global Impact Investment Network.
L. Simone Washington, BSR's Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), shares four takeaways for companies on shaping a more inclusive world where all people have fair access to opportunities and activities to improve their lives.
How can companies play a role in tackling systemic racism and discrimination?
As more and more companies develop, enact, and expand women’s empowerment and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, business needs to understand women’s diverse and distinct experiences and undertake an intersectional approach.
This year’s COVID-19 crisis and racial justice movement have highlighted the systemic inequities in the U.S. and revealed how crises disproportionately affect certain populations. Business has an important role to play in helping to bring climate justice and racial equity front and center while shifting the finance for the energy transition.
Amid a wave of societal commitments to action on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and racial justice, investors are stepping up commitments and vowing to intensify engagement with companies on DEI.
To address deep disparities and systemic challenges, companies will need to take new approaches that move beyond diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as primarily compliance-driven efforts, and transform these tools into strategic drivers to achieve social justice.
