Session: Tools for Success: Leveraging DEI to Meet Evolving ESG Expectations

Diversity, equity, and inclusion is often viewed – and rightly so – as the pillar of the “social” framework of ESG.  However, inclusion and belonging as a cultural value can reap benefits far beyond just the “S” of ESG and can be a means of integrating and bridging the company efforts across the environmental and governance pillars as well.  By using the right data and message, clear and measurable strategies in DEI can unify and ground your company culture within your underlying mission and purpose.  This panel will explore the role of DEI within ESG from several perspectives, including the strategic importance within the investor community, the processes for establishing meaningful metrics, and the critical role of leadership in communicating and relating these principles to core values and business outcomes.
