🗣️ Authentic, equitable leadership is the cornerstone of the #UNFOLD movement, uniting our community of current and future Corporate Affairs leaders. It’s why the theme of the 2023 UNFOLD Convene event is ‘Equity in the Workplace’. Hosted by Randstad, CEO Sander van 't Noordende will give a keynote speech on why equity is at the heart of the organisation.   Joining Sander is Melissa Gee Kee, CHRO of Unilever Ice Cream, and Amanda Edelman, COO of Edelman Gen Z Lab, who will discuss what it takes to drive equity in business. They’ll consider the question: are we really doing enough in reality?   🤝 Corporate Affairs leaders have co-created the UNFOLD movement to positively shape the role of business in the world. The invite-only movement is united in its belief in the importance of authentic, sustainable purpose and the value of inclusive perspectives through which a company can create demonstrable value for all stakeholders. We look forward to bringing the community together and will feedback on the learnings from this important event.   ➡️ If you’re interested in learning more about the UNFOLD movement, please reach out to one of our board members: Anita van de Velde - Rayat, Ellen van Ginkel, Esther Busscher, Gareth Mead, Sarah Campbell Donia, Saskia Kapinga, Simon Henzell-Thomas (he/his) or Steven Heywood.
