Keynote Presentation: The Power of Purposeful Business

 

Direct initiatives to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, often have a significant impact. This talk will highlight the role of indirect initiatives – in particular, the power of purpose. By being driven by the desire to create value for society, rather than a sole focus on profit, companies will improve DEI as a by-product, and also generate higher profits in the long-term.
