“Yejide worked as my Executive assistant throughout one summer break from her studies at Howard University. During that time she not only managed administrative duties, but was crucial in helping me manage on of The Hampton Agency's busiest seasons to date. She is professional in her conduct and friendly in her demeanor. I would certainly be happy to employ Yejide again and can confidently assert that she would serve as an asset to any position she was offered or considered for. Bobbi Hampton”

How can ESG investing create a more equitable society?
ESG investing directs capital to companies addressing environmental sustainability, social justice, and ethical governance - incentivizing responsible, equitable business practices. This allows investors to make values-based decisions that consciously channel capital towards sustainable solutions instead of extractive systems. It connects financial choices with outcomes for excluded groups and seeds a more equitable economy.
-
How can CSR professionals lead their teams towards sustainability?
Craft a compelling net-zero vision, aligning corporate goals seamlessly with emissions targets. Break down silos across the company by forming agile cross-functional teams to meticulously map capital flows and design a decarbonization roadmap. Solidify executive commitment to science-based emission targets. Foster open dialogue to ensure the seamless integration of green practices within treasury, procurement, and operations. Consider incorporating ongoing collaboration and knowledge-sharing mechanisms to sustain momentum and drive continuous improvement.
