EDGE Certification: From Workplace Values to Measurable Business Impact
Jan 29, 2026 Season 9
Intertek

In this episode, David Muil, VP of Sustainability at Intertek, sits down with Elma Christian, Global Business Development Director at Intertek, to unpack how workplace equity and inclusion are evolving from aspirational values into a strategic, measurable business advantage.

The discussion explores EDGE Certification, one of the world’s leading standards for workplace equity and inclusion, and why organizations are increasingly viewing it as a strategic investment with clear ROI rather than a compliance or communications exercise. Listeners will gain insights into how EDGE uses data, third-party verification, and KPIs to drive measurable progress, reduce talent and governance risks, strengthen ESG credibility, and enhance long-term business resilience.

A practical conversation for leaders, sustainability professionals, and board-level stakeholders looking to understand how equity, inclusion, and sustainability intersect—and how EDGE helps turn intention into impact.

Speakers:

  • David Muil, VP of Sustainability at Intertek
  • Elma Christian, Global Business Development Director at Intertek
