So regardless of what the economic climate is, you're going to have that social impact within your organization.”Corey: First step in getting started with an ESG program“I think the key there would be that having a very human-centric approach to the way that you're thinking about your organization, whether that be from ‘ ‘how are my employees going to be kind of excited from an engagement perspective to continue to deliver on the mission of our organization? Or how are we going to continue to retain our customers as there's continually disruption within a whole bunch of different industries today.” Connect with Corey and learn what he’s been duckin’ around with:LinkedIn | Inspire 11 | Inspire11.comConnect with Sarah and find out more about what the duck she’s up to:LinkedIn | Twitter | SourceDay | SourceDay.comHad fun with the podcast?
