Any CSR program you design and develop has to respond a to need, solve a problem / a situation, and therefore be genuine and authentic. In the case of diversity and inclusion, all you have to do is include everyone- all of the diverse voices. If the program is designed to "look good" it will fail.

1. Ensure leaders genuinely support and participate in D&I initiatives. 2. Involve diverse stakeholders in planning and execution. 3. Integrate D&I principles into the company's mission and values. 4. Set clear objectives and track progress. 5. Maintain open dialogue.

Creating an authentic CSR program that embodies diversity and inclusion (D&I) involves a strategic and genuine approach: 1. Ensure leaders actively support and participate in D&I initiatives, setting a strong example for the organization. 2. Involve diverse stakeholders, including employees, community members, and partners, in the planning & execution stages to incorporate multiple perspectives. 3. Integrate D&I principles into the company’s mission and values, ensuring they are foundational to all CSR activities. 4. Establish clear, achievable objectives related to D&I, and track progress using relevant metrics. 5. Maintain open dialogue about the goals, actions, and outcomes of the CSR program to build trust and accountability.

Un programa de diversidad e inclusión se transforma en auténtico cuando lo que decimos se condice con lo que hacemos y el resultado es enriquecedor para cada uno de los stakeholders involucrados. Si cuando hablamos de diversidad solo sumamos personas de colectivos diversos para tener equilibrada una planilla sin integrarlas de forma debida o no hacemos foco en sus talentos para que su aporte a la organización sea de valor vamos a haber creado un enga?o que se va a desvanecer por sí solo. Si por inclusión llevamos adelante acciones disrtibutivas -o cualquiera de sus versiones- se transformará en insostenible y frustrante para todos los involucrados. Los programas tienen que ser sostenibles, enriquecedores y coherentes con quien los aplica.

Make sure you have a firm understanding of leadership’s true values to make sure the strategic derives from a place of genuine intent and not just a tickbox excercise. Bonus tip: Those who say its’ not just a tickbox excersize for us are the biggest ?? and often only do see this as a tickbox compliance excersize
