WHERE WE’RE GOING NEXT DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION (DEI) There’s no denying that Future Leap—like the environment sector as a whole—still has a long way to go when it comes to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Future Leap is taking a pro-active approach. We’re committed to enable talent from intersectional spaces and communities to be part of delivering a just transition. All voices and contributions are needed to deliver sustainability goals for our society. We’re going to need to harness the very best talent from across our society if we’re going to have a hope of making sustainability a reality. STEPS TAKEN We’ve already taken a few steps in the right direction. For example: 75% of Future Leap’s Senior Management Team and 73% of employees identify as female. We engaged Babbasa (see p.33) to write us a DEI report, help us compose more inclusive job descriptions and improve the DEI of the Festival of Sustainable Business (p.49). Florence Okowa, who volunteers with us as our DEI Ambassador, raises awareness about the importance of DEI and promoting the Future Leap Network among underrepresented groups. 35
