I en tid av osäkerhet behöver vi mer än någonsin näringslivets engagemang. DEI och ESG är inte hinder för framgång – de är dess förutsättningar. Men i en alltmer polariserad debatt ser vi hur dessa frågor ifrågasätts. Daniel Sachs, en av grundarna till F1RST, sätter ord på det viktiga: Näringslivet har ett ansvar att inte dras med i kortsiktiga politiska strömningar, utan istället arbeta för långsiktig hållbarhet och inkludering. Det är precis vad vi på F1RST gör tillsammans med våra partners. Vi bygger broar mellan unga talanger och företag, och vi ser hur rätt stöd kan förändra liv.
