The New Actionists: Brands Driving Social Impact
Description:
The New Actionists is a discussion that will lead attendees through the dynamics of how brands are leveraging their own platforms, communities, data and technology to take stands and drive impact
Not five years ago, corporations stayed away from hot-button issues, encouraging employees to keep their politics at home. Today, more companies are compelled, even required, to pursue ESG platforms and take stands that matter to their employees, customers and mission. This discussion features organizational leaders who have had unique opportunities to pursue global-policy-shifting, triple-bottom-line outcomes, and even advocacy, as part and parcel of their day jobs.
