Advancing equity in corporate social investment with Mide Akerewusi Let's Imagine
-
- Non-Profit
This week on the podcast we’re discussing a new study that looks at the influence of Justice, Access, Inclusion, Diversity, Equity - commonly referred to as JAIDE - within the Corporate Community Investment Profession.
The Covid-19 pandemic, the ensuing racial reckoning and rallying cry for justice resulting from the murder of George Floyd and Black people killed through acts of anti-Black racism, has taken corporate citizenship and philanthropy to an inflection point — an opportune time for reflection and assessment. To authentically advance change, how are the voices of Black, Indigenous, 2SLGBTQI and other equity-seeking individuals being heard within the corporate social impact community?
This research explores the beliefs, culture, and practices that inhibit or enable equity within corporate nonprofit partnerships. The results are from a survey of Canada's largest companies, interviews with various CSR professionals and discussions with young leaders.
To discuss the state of corporate philanthropy, and explore ways of how companies can better advance philanthropy to advance JAIDE, Mide Akerewusi, Founder and CEO of AgentsC, is joining us.
We invite you to review the study findings & recommendations by downloading the research reports here: https://imaginecanada.ca/en/diversity-and-csr
