Here are some key takeaways from this episode:

Successful Organisations Align Individual and Organisational Goals

“Now my huge assumption here is that if you work in an organisation, you’re bought into the goals of that organisation. This is one of the most basic principles in management science, in accounting in everything else they teach in universities and business schools.”

UN’s Global Goals for Sustainable Development

“In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 goals to create a better world by 2030. The idea is that these goals have the power to end poverty, fight inequality and stop climate change. These are things we all want”

We are Working Towards UN Global Goal Number 10: Reduced Inequalities

 “By 2030, empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status. That sounds exactly like what we do here”
