OSLO, Norway, Dec. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With the introduction of both mandatory and voluntary Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting requirements, company managers are under increasing pressure to improve their performance on social and governance issues. But according to Barbara Frencia, CEO of Business Assurance (BA) in DNV, misconceptions about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) can often blind managers to the business benefits of a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce.

Key Points:

But according to Barbara Frencia, CEO of Business Assurance (BA) in DNV, misconceptions about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) can often blind managers to the business benefits of a more diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce.

But implementing and measuring the impacts of DEI policies and actions on business performance is harder to quantify.
"In my view, we are approaching a tipping point," she says.
