The strategic alignment of DEI within the broader sustainability agenda is becoming increasingly important. Organisations are recognising the interconnectedness of DEI initiatives with broader sustainability goals and the societal impact of their operations. In this session we explore the the significance of social sustainability in fostering resilient and equitable societies, and the pivotal role of social factors within Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks.
Key outcomes include:
* Explore the role and responsibility of organisations in fostering social cohesion
* Understanding the interconnectedness of social sustainability with environmental and governance initiatives.
* Exploring strategies to amplify social considerations into ESG frameworks, including reporting and governance for accountability.
