How can business promote social justice activism?

How can businesses take part in movements for social and environmental justice? It might seem like a strange question — business is a core driver of negative impacts, from economic inequality to environmental extraction. Yet by examining their practices and changing for the better — and advocating for peers to do the same — businesses can unlock enormous potential for positive change. Activism has a place in corporate boardrooms, and businesses can enable activist work both among their employees and in their actions at a corporate level. In this episode we answer: What does it mean to be a business activist — or an activist business? How can business activism help companies envision and work toward what is truly needed to improve life for all people and the planet? How is business activism tied to collective action in the business community, and how can they complement each other?  Guests include: Amanda Gordon, Chief Customer Officer, Future SuperCharmian Love, Co-Founder, B Lab UK; Global Director of Advocacy, Natura & Co. Pavithra Ram, Impact Navigator, Tony’s Chocolonely<br /> Hosted on Acast.
