Afterwards we turned to the industry perspective, where our speakers showcased the value of sustainability reporting for companies and explained how the wider business ecosystem is motivating them to become more inclusive. Finally, the discussion turned to how diversity within companies allows them to address the diverse needs of their stakeholders.
