You’re ready to create more positive impact with your business but wonder where to start to actually make a difference.
Here are three initial steps that can put your business on the right track toward making a positive impact for people and planet.
- Get buy-in for a diversity and inclusion team. Effectively building an inclusive workplace requires the efforts not just of a handful of people at the company but the company as a whole.
- Start the shift to mission-aligned governance, such as benefit corporation governance. Companies generally are expected to put the interests of shareholders ahead of the interests of other stakeholders, including workers, customers and the community.
- Adopt more transparent practices to increase engagement and accountability. Transparency goes beyond compliance; more companies are openly sharing information about their company with workers and other stakeholders as a means to promote accountability, engagement and trust.
