Global Equity Summit 2024 – Day 1 – Webinar 2

How can a multidimensional approach to equity boost business performance and investor value?

This webinar’s insights paper delves into the critical question of how businesses can effectively integrate intersectionality into their equity, diversity and inclusion programmes. Learn how understanding the overlapping dimensions of equity – such as gender, race, socio-economic status, and LGBTQ+ identities – helps companies adopt a truly people-centred approach that delivers business and investor value, ensures every employee’s unique experiences and challenges are recognised and valued, and where progress can be effectively measured.
