Conversations
We live in an age not only of disruption but also of disparity and division. To heal our fractured societies, we need to start engaging with people who we may not like or respect; people who don’t see the world the way we do; people whose views we might oppose. That’s why I am encouraged by BASF’s “Courageous and Compassionate Conversations” that were initiated in 2020. During sessions with 5,000 employees, the issues of social justice, racism and discrimination were raised for open and honest discussion. Diversity, equity and inclusion needs such proactive, human-centred approaches to make real progress.
