LIVE VIDEO: What role do Institutional Investors play in dismantling racism?
DROP THE MIC 🎤 FOR THE BIG QUESTION:
What role do Institutional Investors play in dismantling racism?
Our Managing Director, Fiona McKay got the opportunity to answer, dive-in and dissect this very question with a no holds barred discussion as a guest on the HR Rewired LinkedIn, Youtube & Twitter LIVE debate.
Legal & General recently flexed their investment muscle to force FTSE 100 companies to take race seriously so this was a timely and critical conversation.
