Join our experts from Dow and industry partners to learn more about how large organizations are driving disability inclusive business practices in the transition towards a sustainable economy!

The transition towards a sustainable economy requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond environmental concerns. It also encompasses social issues, such as diversity, inclusion, and employment opportunities for people with disabilities. This social dimension in the workplace is gaining greater relevance, as corporations recognize the need to align their strategies and operations with the Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals.
 
To address this critical aspect of sustainable development, Dow and its industry partners are hosting a webinar entitled "Empowering Sustainable Development: The Critical Role of Disability Inclusion in Corporate Strategies" on March 9th at 11am CET.
 
The webinar will feature experts from Dow, L'Oréal Group, Accenture, ONCE Social Group, and the European Disability Forum, who will discuss the challenges and opportunities of disability inclusive business practices. Participants will learn how these leaders promote the inclusion of people with disabilities to align with the Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals.
 
Moreover, attendees will discover how incorporating the social dimension into corporate strategies can help organizations achieve their sustainability objectives. By embracing diversity and inclusion and creating employment opportunities for people with disabilities, corporations can drive positive change in society while achieving their business goals. 
 
Join the webinar on March 9th and learn from industry leaders about the importance of disability inclusion in corporate strategies. Together, we can work towards a more sustainable and inclusive future.
 
This is all that awaits you!
