Racing for Equality
Online Summit
Wednesday 6 October 2021
A full day of talks to move beyond black and white, so that businesses can reflect the diversity of our communities and our nations. We explored how to have the conversations about race, how to break barriers and how to arrive to action to drive change.
Join us as we speak with global executives across multiple sectors about how we advance fairness by developing evidence based approaches, discuss how we will move forward to create workplaces that represent our communities and how to effectively address disparities and inequalities for all those affected.
