1️⃣A year after the BlackNorth Initiative’s (BNI) pledge to improve Black representation launched, it had almost 500 signatories; however, four years later, the number of signatories remains the same. Among the BNI signatories traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange, only 3.3% of board members were Black in 2022, according to our report, "Diversity in Leadership at S&P/ TSX Companies." Check out our report here: 🔗 https://bit.ly/3RBwsJP 2️⃣As this Advisor.ca article also highlights, there is so much more progress to be made. In May 2025, BNI will unveil its “Pledge 2.0,” which will include more ambitious representation goals. Read more from the article here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gdS84XAx 3️⃣This also highlights the importance of programs like the #50_30Challenge, which is a voluntary code aimed at increasing diversity and inclusion on boards and in senior leadership.

🤔 Food for Thought 🍽️ 🌐 Insightful presentations and passionate discussions filled the room, providing plenty of food for thought at the #CDS24 3. FAZ Corporate Diversity Summit in Frankfurt. 🌐 🎤 📈 It was great to hear from major corporates like Union Investment and AOK Hessen. Die Gesundheitskasse. on how they are further embedding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into their culture as well as being given the reassurance that there is indeed a business case for diversity management, reaffirming the value of #DEI in the corporate world. 🔊🚨 The “tone from the top” was highlighted as a key driver for successful transformation. Leadership’s voice matters! Are you aware that in a crisis we might unconsciously fall back to “the tried and tested” which might have been a less diverse and inclusive environment and therefore risk that when we need diversity the most we might block it? 🗣️🌍 Heather Cairns-Lee emphasised the power of inclusive communication and the subtle dangers of micro-inequities - a classic example is the “Yes, but where are you really from?” 🧠💡 Karolien Notebaert shed light on how our “default mode network” influences our unconscious bias (without thinking, answer the question: who has stronger analytical skills - Anna or Tom?) and what role our affinity bias can play in creating mini-mes. 🎗️👏 The honesty in Isabelle Hoyer‘s panel on leading with disabilities was inspiring! 🤝👀 Of course, there was also time for networking. I met some great diversity champions and I caught up with my fellow Fondsfrauen advisory board member Michaela Krahwinkel Already looking forward excited to next year’s summit! #diversity #foodforthought #dei #leadership
