041 Making Diversity & Inclusion a Pillar of CSR

Diversity Alliance Talks

In this weeks episode we discuss how leading companies are leveraging corporate social responsibility and social impact to create influence, engage employees, and drive meaningful change. Critical issues such as diversity, pay equity, social justice and climate change have made their way into the workplace and the corporate C-suite, and companies are being judged on the basis of their treatment of employees and customers, and their impact on social issues.

This conversation follows on from a panel discussion we had at International Confex on September 2021. We catch up with Mark Webster, Managing Director Give to Get, UK and Europe.
