Fear permeates various aspects of society, yet it challenges leaders to remain true to their values. In the face of political polarization and skepticism around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, organizations must uphold their commitment to these principles. Research shows that investing in DEI and ESG drives better business outcomes by enhancing customer loyalty and financial performance. Even amidst market volatility, 87% of institutional investors recognize the significance of ESG factors as essential to risk assessment and prudent investing.
We define who we are not in times of ease-but in moments of fear. Today, fear is everywhere: in politics, in the markets, and in our planet's future.
DEI and ESG are value-driven principles that improve outcomes across the board. From performance to customer loyalty, they reflect smart business tactics.
Institutional investors agree: 87% still believe ESG factors - including DEI considerations - are indicators of financial risk, not ideological positions.
Companies leading the pack in diversity outperform those at the bottom by a remarkable 36% in profitability.
