As the world transitions to a more accepting and inclusive system, corporates are now bound by this same ethos, requiring them to embrace diversity that has long been scarce in the professional arena. Several events of these past years, including woes of COVID-19, as well as the economic crisis have made values such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) stronger than ever. There is now prevalent and growing consensus that companies entertaining a strong identity anchored in DE&I are more prone to long-term success.
