Overview:
Directly or indirectly, companies affect what happens to employees, workers in the value chain, customers and local communities and it is important to manage impact and possible crisis proactively! Social sustainability often gets less attention than environmental sustainability, but it’s just as important. Every company should meet the needs of the current generations and design the space for future ones. Let us not forget, that Millennials and Gen Z, which are our future customers and employees, they don’t just “talk sustainability”. They walk, wear and eat it too! And they demand from a company to be totally aligned with their social values, otherwise they are simply not interested.
Now, more than ever, it is imperative for companies to embrace this new reality and focus on the key elements of Social Sustainability. DEI, building safe and sustainable workplaces, creating lasting impact in the local communities, enhancing trust and conducting inclusive strategies that people would want to be part of, watching sustainability through the impact lens and not the policy lens, are some of the key points which will be deeply analyzed in this workshop!
