Companies are facing enormous social, cultural, and political issues, from the potential reversal of Roe v. Wade, LGBTQ laws, to the recent massacre in Buffalo catapulting racial and social justice issues once again to the forefront. Facing pressure from communities and employees to take a stand and from shareholders and politicians to remain neutral can be extremely hard for companies to navigate.
Join us on Monday, June 27 at 12:00 PM ET where we will be joined by moderators Darrell Gay and Jay Jamrog and joined by Andrea Hagelgans, Managing Director, Social Issues Engagement, Edelman, Todd Jacobson, Head of Social Responsibility, NBA, Kurt Fischer, Board i4cp and David Grosso, Partner, Government Relation, ArentFox Schiff, LLP where we will tackle hard questions such as:
- What are the challenges and risks to companies in addressing social justice issues?
- What should companies ask themselves before they take a stand?
- When should companies speak out?
- Should companies be agents for change in driving diversity initiatives, and if so, what can they do?
