February 28, 2025 • Tokunbo 'Toks' Ifaturoti • Episode 43

Hello Sustainable Friends,

💥💯Join me in this episode titled, Sustainability Under Threat: The Implications of Rolling Back Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as I :

1. Explore this topic in the context of what is unfolding in America.

2. Provide insights into why we should care about DEI and why it is crucial for sustainability.

2. Highlight that DEI doesn't mean hiring unqualified candidates into existing roles; it simply means widening the pool of prospective candidates to include those who might have been overlooked due to systemic prejudices.

4. Explore the benefits of DEI and alignment to some SDGs

5. List some companies that have rolled back DEI and those who have doubled down despite changes in the regulatory and policy landscape.

🎧💚 Please listen, enjoy, like, and share!

Many thanks,
