Avtar The Power of Diversity’s Post

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I am thrilled to share that I was recently interviewed on the ESG on Tap podcast by Lauren Ryder and Anthony Scott, with a focus on ESG through a First Nations lens. I believe that businesses have a unique opportunity to adapt their operations to contribute to deliver #SocialImpact (whilst also increasing their profitability at the same time!) by helping to bridge the gap created by the #DigitalDivide for First Nations people. Key contributions include: 💥 Engaging First Nations people through employment and supplier pathways (particularly as part of a Reconciliation Action Plan). 💥 Co-Design and collaborate with First Nations people in implementing ESG strategies - particularly where business operations take place within First Nations locations (specifically as part of an ESG Strategy for the organisation). 💥 Supporting the development of regional data centres to bring digital infrastructure to First Nations communities (such as Leading Edge Data Centres). In these ways, companies can drive positive social impact and achieve sustainable growth! Please listen to the full podcast to learn more about ESG from a First Nations Perspective and follow the ESG on Tap Podcast for other meaningful sustainability content 🌍✨ #ESG #ESGonTAP #FirstNations #DigitalDivide #BridgeTheGap #SocialImpact #Sustainability #Inclusion #BusinessGrowth #YarningCircles
