Social media and "CrowdReg" raise the stakes on social issues significantly. An organization’s stance and actions on issues related to diversity and inclusion, human rights, supply chain, working conditions and corruption can be the difference between success and failure and go straight to the balance sheet bottom line – sometimes in the time it takes to tweet.
To support clients who are juggling legal and reputational issues, our integrated approach covers not only the regulatory underpinnings but our own perspective on diversity and inclusion and deep experience in business, human rights, and crisis leadership in areas such as:
