SB'20 Just Brands

More than two thirds of Americans find companies with strong diversity, equity, and inclusion values more relevant than other brands, and 80% of Americans believe companies need to recognize their role in systemic racial inequality by acknowledging past mistakes or biases.

The time for talking is over. Corporations must make authentic, long-term commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion.

The SB’20 Just Brands conference, which took place virtually on August 18-19, helped participants look closely at existing policies and behaviors, and identify strategies that authentically address areas for improvement.
