24 Sep DIVERSITY & SUSTAINABILITY CHART
At B1-AKT, we promote a holistic Diversity & Inclusion approach. We believe that a company culture focused on diversity and inclusion is the key driver of creativity and innovation. Our ability to deliver excellent results is fueled by and dependent on our ability to embed Diversity & Inclusion in our corporate culture and the way we do business.
Diversity
We recognize that sustainable communication is a global mix of contributions of men and women of diverse backgrounds, beliefs and cultures. Respect and be open to a variety of viewpoints and diversity of thought. Work in an environment that encourages each of us to achieve our potential and values the contributions of all.
Why Diversity is Important to Us
Our uniqueness is a source of innovation and inspiration. They enable us to generate new ideas, anticipate market trends and be thought leaders. Having a diverse workforce:
- Equips us to understand today’s global changes and uniquely respond to our customers’ needs
- Creates an international platform that enriches our innovative services, and underpins the collaborative experience that we offer
B1-AKT fully subscribes to the UN Global Compact whose 6th principle states that “business should eliminate discrimination in respect of employment and occupation,” as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights principles.
Sustainability Values & Ecosystem
We believe that growing in an inclusive way, empowering our people and working with partners will create sustainable value for everyone within our ecosystem. We do this by leveraging partnerships on a local and global scale, participating in events and forums to promote and develop initiatives and by collaborating with and learning from our peers.
Our collaborative network
The B1-AKT community includes entrepreneurs, corporations, global nonprofits, communities, start-ups and academic institutions. Our community is driving positive change in the areas of health, environment, education, energy, smart territories & cities, prosperity, resilience, migration, art and humanities, governance.
We prepare young leaders to seize smart opportunities. We empower them to learn, connect, and innovate. We offer educational programs, workshops, labs, enterprise sustainable strategies, wise leadership, and innovation programs; programs to support and scale startups and promote positive social impact.
Environmental, Social & Governance
As a responsible corporate citizen, B1-AKT’s belief is that financial performance and responsibility for our environment, our employees and the global communities we touch are inextricably linked.
To progress towards our sustainability goals, B1-AKT is committed to:
- Educating, developing and empowering transnational young leaders, and thus enabling them to identify and adopt best practices that will enhance sustainability; and
- Supporting our sustainability initiatives.
Our approach to Corporate Responsibility focuses on four key areas: (1) Diversity and Inclusion; (2) Ethics; (3) Environment and Conservation; and (4) Community & Civic Engagement.
Sustainability is an issue that challenges all of us to learn, communicate and collaborate more effectively. In all that we do we seek to integrate and balance the economic, environmental and social outcomes of our actions through full cost accounting, systems thinking and stakeholder dialogue.
Respect of diversity
Sustainable Communication success depends on the active involvement of people and partners. We respect the needs, values and traditions of local communities and cultures, and we forge relationships based on mutual benefit and trust.
