The intersectionality of Sustainability and DEI has become well understood as a codependency crucial for any forward-thinking organization.

But despite the intense DEI efforts of corporations since 2020, many marginalized groups are still experiencing slower-than-expected progress in their professional and personal environments. This loss of momentum is a substantial threat to your enterprise and requires understanding on an individualized level.

This conversation may leave you with more questions than answers about implementing DEI in your venture, but sustainable solutions often reveal themselves with intense self-review and invasive questioning.

The Importance of DEI: How to Implement DEI within your business

1. What other ways have you seen the value of CSR work, outside of direct benefits to corporations’ image/reputation?
2. Were there any challenges your projects, beneficiaries, or the organization(s) faced while leading these social impact efforts?
3. Based on your experiences, what do you envision for social impact initiatives in the future years to come?

Systems of management and agricultural production that combine high levels of biodiversity with environmental precautions that safeguard the environment and have stringent requirements for the wellbeing of animals. Organic farming employs fewer chemicals than conventional agriculture, lessens soil erosion, prevents nitrate from seeping into groundwater and surface water, and recycles animal waste back onto the farm. Waste produced throughout various agricultural activities is referred to as agricultural waste. A lot of residues are produced during crop harvesting, both on and off the field. Threats to the environment and public health result from India's current waste management system's inability to handle the increasing amount of waste produced by a growing urban population. Agricultural waste includes things like crop remnants, weeds, leaves, sawdust, forest detritus, and animal dung. These are non-industrial items, thus addressing them might benefit humanity in some way. Demand for mineral fertilizers is reduced if agricultural wastes are appropriately handled and utilized to guarantee sustainability, soil health, and environmental protection. Composting is a key component of agricultural waste management. Biodegradable hemicellulose and cellulosic materials found in agricultural waste break down to supply a wealth of nutrients to plants. The aim of this study is to investigate ways to recycle as much crop residue, fruit, and vegetable waste as possible using various adaption strategies, and to educate farmers, students, and the general public on how to sustainably manage the ecosystem and extend the life of agriculture. Farmers can use agricultural waste in particular to create "Fertilizers" that enhance the fertility of their fields. The choice of farmers to use agricultural waste in the fields increases crop demand and fertility, improving farmer income. Recognize and utilize the trash produced by nature, and comprehend how environmental protection is achieved through efficient waste management.

Panel - Executing ESG Strategy - Moving from Commitment to Action
Organisations around the world are making strong commitments to sustainability and specifically emissions reduction. More than 700 of the world’s top publicly listed companies have made Net Zero commitments and 80% of the FTSE 100 have committed to Net Zero by 2050. Despite this, organisations are finding it much harder than envisaged to move from commitment to action. L.E.K. undertook a Global Sustainability survey in 2022 to understand the key challenges and how are these are being overcome by successful organisations. John Goddard, L.E.K.’s Vice Chair Sustainability will highlight the key findings from this research and share his five-point plan that organisations’ can deploy to move successfully from commitment to action.



L.E.K. supported National Express in framing its Net Zero strategy, and John is delighted to be joined by Tom Stables, National Express CEO for UK & Germany who will share his perspectives on how the group developed its Net Zero commitments and is now making them a reality across the group. In essence moving from commitments to action.

Doughnut Economics
To meet the needs of all people within the means of the living planet, Doughnut Economics poses some big challenges for businesses. The business world will need to embrace bold and ambitious solutions that are both regenerative and distributive. To make this possible, we will need to transform the deep design of business: its purpose and networks, how it is governed and owned and the nature of its relationship with finance. This talk will explore ideas and models for achieving the needed transformations in business to help humanity into the Doughnut.
The 21st century’s rapidly compounding crises – from climate and ecological breakdown to extreme social inequities of power and opportunity – make it irrefutably clear that the global economic system must be transformed if humanity and the rest of life on Earth are to thrive. Doughnut Economics provides an increasingly recognised compass for such a thriving future, and is focused on meeting the needs of all people within the means of the living planet, by creating economies that are regenerative and distributive by design. What are the implications for the role and transformation of business, if it is to be part of this future? The answer focuses on the deep design of business.
This talk explores how the deep design of business – through a company’s Purpose, Networks, Governance, Ownership, and Finance – powerfully shapes its strategic decisions and operational impacts, and ultimately determines whether or not businesses can transform to become part of a regenerative and distributive future. By diving into five layers of deep design, this talk reveals both design blockages that prevent transformative action, and design innovations that can unlock its possibility. In addition, this talk recognises that industry-level and system-wide transformations are crucial for turning the inheritance of a degenerative and divisive economic system into the beginnings of a regenerative and distributive one.
Our central proposition: Transforming the deep design of business – through innovations in its Purpose, Networks, Governance, Ownership, and Finance – is essential for enabling business to become regenerative and distributive in its strategies, operations and impacts, and hence to help bring humanity into the Doughnut.
The Doughnut Design for Business tool guides businesses through a journey of enterprise (re)design, to translate these ideas into practice. In doing so, it aims to enable a host of investments, innovations, actions, and solutions that help create businesses and economies designed around regenerative and distributive dynamics. We hope that, together, this approach will enable many regenerative and distributive possibilities to get turned into action, thanks to innovations in the deep design of business.
