It was the hardworking men and women, their unrelenting struggles, and sacrifices, that made the 21st century what it is today. It was the labor movement and their tireless efforts that helped to secure equal rights, better working conditions, and overall modernized living standards. Today, I salute the incredible contributions and achievements of workers everywhere. #laborday #laborday2024
There are three things you need for a successful re-skilling programme: a willing employer, a willing employee and cash. Seems straightforward enough, but here in the real world there is a lot more to unpick, and our CSO Natalie Hall broke it down in detail at the recent House of Commons Women and Equality Select Committee about the rights of older workers. If your business needs support in having these conversations then don't delay - the issue is not going away - get in touch: https://lnkd.in/e2kkebKm #ageinclusion #ageinclusivity

Interesting & relevant. Are companies' HR policies addressing these matters? Is this part of your company's ESG? #ageism #ageinclusion #ageinclusivity #ESG

Today, we stand united for #EqualPayDay, a reminder that equality is not just a goal, it's a right. At YWCA McLean County, we're committed to breaking down barriers and leveling the playing field. Because when women and men are paid equally, we all thrive. Let's close the gap, raise our voices, and lift each other up. Together, we can make equal pay a reality for everyone. #ywca #ywcamcleancounty #YWCAisonamission #eliminateracismandempowerwomen #mcleancounty #blono #EqualPay #GenderEquality #WageGap #PayEquity #EconomicEmpowerment #StandForEquality #Empowerment #DiversityAndInclusion #BalanceForBetter #EqualWorkEqualPay #FinancialIndependence #WomenInLeadership #Fairness #Justice

Feminism shouldn't stop with just seeing women represented at the top of society. It must start with fighting for a better world, for those at the bottom. For this, feminist movements must unite with other movements - anti-caste, environmentalists, labor and migrant rights movements. Only then can the feminist movement be a beacon of hope for the millions of working class women across the world. At TTCU, we strongly believe this, and this is what has driven us to success even in the Justice for Jeyasre campaign, leading to the Dindigul Agreement This women's day, let us reclaim the slogan 'Bread and Roses' - calling for labor rights, dignity and social justice for everyone. Let us break the boundaries that isolate and divide us. Let us reject the undervaluation of our work, our contributions and our humanity. Let us be able to dream, hope and imagine new possibilities, where we are not constrained by gender roles, and are able to offer freedom, liberation and beauty for all. Do not forget, solidarity is our greatest weapon for change. #iwd2024 Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID) Asia Floor Wage Alliance (AFWA) Cividep India Global Fund for Women Lavinia Muth Business & Human Rights Resource Centre Gopika Bashi
One of the slogans of first women's day was 'Bread and Roses' - highlighting the need for better wages and a better quality of life. We need to return & re-assert the radical roots of the #feminist movement, calling for social justice, living wages and decent work for all. Today we want to extend our solidarity to all the women around the world who are rising up to secure better working conditions, living wages and to end gender-based violence. #iwd2024 #womenempowerment #genderequality
During last week's IDH Living Wage and Living Income Summit, I shared that only 4% of the 2000 companies pay, or have a target to pay their workers a living wage. Today we share the full set of results with the launch of the 2024 social benchmark of the 2000 most influential companies. Providing data and key findings on human rights, gender equality, tax disclosure, lobbying and other issues. These findings matter as these 2000 companies are directly employing an estimated 95 million people and hundreds of millions more via their operations and supply chain, these companies play a crucial role in the 2030 Agenda to #LeaveNoOneBehind. The results show that the impact companies have on people, is today nowhere near consequential enough to their success. But together, as people, civil society, media, investors, industry bodies, and policymakers we can change this. By using our collective influence we can strengthen corporate accountability and make sure it pays for companies to lead, and costs to lag.

As attention turns to the S in ESG, it’s important to have a better understanding of business performance and social impact materiality.

Adjunct Faculty and Practice Director - Responsible Finance Initiative at GIBS Business School (Gordon Institute of Business Science)
We're just about to embark on teaching an MBA elective this July on Sustainable Finance at GIBS (Gordon Institute of Business Science). Ask an MBA student what "sustainability" means to them in the corporate context and the conversation immediately turns to developing business strategies that take cognizance of "planetary boundaries", or address climate change, or keep a business relevant for future generations. Then the World Benchmarking Alliance (of which GIBS is a member) produced this graphic this week that highlighted their findings on how the 2000 most influential global corporations fared against a WBA benchmark for social and ethical conduct. It immediately struck home how little attention is paid to the one aspect of "sustainability" that is within easy reach of every corporate: i.e. their own contribution to human capital development, a critical building block for sustainability. #sustainability, #sustainablefinance. #esg The graphic below summarises the dismal record for this group of "most influential global businesses". It deserves the attention of every business school involved in teaching "sustainability" Let's make sure it gets included in our curricula.
