About This Training
Amid ongoing political polarization and uncertainty in the United States, BSR’s Center for Business & Social Justice offers a guide for meaningful business engagement on social justice issues.
Though corporate social impact efforts face heightened scrutiny, stakeholders also expect business leadership on social justice issues—this is the new normal. Companies have and are expected to continue to act on social justice in practice, if not in name, including issues such as climate justice, democracy, economic stability, racial justice, gender equity, LGBTIQ+ inclusion, caregiving, unionization, and community impact. Social justice encompasses many economic and social issues that affect everyone.
Business must therefore wrestle with how to prioritize positive and equitable social outcomes as a primary strategic objective. Join us for a panel discussion to hear firsthand:
- Why are social justice issues relevant to business?
- How can heightened scrutiny in the legal, political, and consumer domains help advance meaningful progress?
- Where can business exert its collective influence to advance social justice?
Gain insights from The Social Justice Guide for Business: Moving Beyond Crisis to Action, set to be released by the end of February 2024. The Guide is designed by and for large companies across industries with complex value-chains, diverse stakeholders, and is focused on the U.S. region.
Who should attend? Social justice often isn’t anyone’s job at a company yet implicates many functions and roles including DEI, Sustainability, ESG, Public Affairs, Investor Relations, Stakeholder Engagement, and many more. The Guide can be applied by executives empowered to make organizational decisions and is also designed to support practitioners looking for approaches grounded in methodology.
