Businesses of all types have increased their focus on the social component of the environmental, social, and governance (ESG ) equation since the start of the pandemic. Many now recognize that inclusion and diversity (I&D), in particular, can help them deliver better outcomes for their business, their customers, and the societies they serve.
In this edition of Privately Speaking, we explore this shift to social and share some of our insights on creating a more meaningful I&D strategy at private companies.
Leading executives understand that ESG makes business better. They know it needs to be purpose led and sustainable in order to deliver the resilience and profitable growth they desire. And they recognize that it can no longer be siloed in functions and divisions—ESG must be something that is embedded into a company’s entire strategy and operations.
