Proud to share my learnings on effective CSR communication at the Sustainability Leadership Training Program. When it comes to owning a topic like equality and inclusion, clear, authentic messaging is key. The rainbow movement has gained significant momentum in recent years - an important societal shift that forward-thinking SMEs should thoughtfully consider how to authentically embrace. There are certainly nuances to navigate, but the opportunity to demonstrate values-driven leadership on issues like LGBTQ+ equality is compelling. #SMESS #SustainableLeadership #CorporateCommunications
