On Tuesday, 29 September, AmCham EU hosted a session for members and staff with Roianne Nedd, Global Diversity & Inclusion lead, Oliver Wyman (a Marsh McLennan company). Besides her role as a diversity and inclusion consultant, Ms Nedd is an activist, public speaker and author on intersectional feminism, race issues and equality issues in the workplace.
Ms Nedd provided valuable insights on how the COVID-19 crisis and the Black Life Matters movement are affecting diversity and inclusion in the corporate world. She also spoke about the concrete steps that leaders can take to ensure that today’s conversation about equality issues in the workplace turns into concrete change.

From Saturday, 13 to Sunday, 14 June, AmCham EU staff, members, alumni and their families took part in the 24 hour Relay for Life at the Stade du Pachy in Waterloo, Belgium. Together, they walked, campaigned and raised funds to support the fight against cancer. For all involved, staying on the track for a full day was a small but meaningful way to honour the perseverance of those living with cancer and to show support for their loved ones. Couldn't join us?

For families facing food insecurity, efficient support can make a meaningful difference. In Spain, Amazon and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are working with Altius Foundation to improve how essential goods are received and distributed to those in need. Through AWS’ pro bono Giveback programme, the partners developed a digital tool that automates key processes, reducing waiting times and freeing up capacity for counselling and support. Their collaboration also enabled the delivery of more than three million meals in 2024 and helped mobilise humanitarian aid after the October 2024 floods in southeast Spain. These efforts demonstrate how technology, logistics and long-term partnerships can strengthen community support and increase social impact. Read the full story on Invested in Europe.
