Welcome to Business Sweden's Report launch of "Diversity Beyond Borders"

How are Swedish companies pioneering Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) on the global stage? 

Join us on Thursday 6 March for the launch of Business Sweden's new Executive Global Insights Report "Diversity Beyond Borders: How Swedish companies are pioneering DEI practices on the global stage".

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are critical elements of today's organisational strategies–serving as essential drivers of innovation, competitiveness, and long-term sustainability. Reporting on DEI policies and metrics is also becoming a mandatory requirement for companies operating in European countries and value chains.

Sweden is a global leader in equality and inclusion with national values and policies serving as a benchmark for progressive social and workplace practices. What's more, Swedish companies are championing these principles around the world.

But what's their blueprint for success? 
How should you navigate diverse cultural and regulatory landscapes when rolling out DEI initiatives abroad?
