Can the composition and the lopsided hiring trends of a company lead to labour unrest or a downturn of consumer opinion? Can an archaic diversity and inclusion stance lead to a surge of criticism that harms the company brand, ultimately causing share prices to fall? While not all social aspects of a corporation can affect the bottom line, leaders must start considering these scenarios as they develop their corporate citizenship in today’s market.
As ZICO Law continues with its ESG webinar series, our panel of global and regional experts will look at how social factors can affect company performance in achieving diversity and inclusion, community awareness, promoting social development through policies and the potential roadblocks to its implementation in ASEAN.
