ALBEI believes that embracing diversity in all its forms in the board rooms of Australia will lead to better decision making, better returns for shareholders and an expanded pool of talent to draw upon. The ASX Corporate Governance Council is currently accepting submissons on its proposed corporate governance standards for the next 5 years. We believe that they do not go far enough. In 2015, KPMG Australia advised that "Many of the initiatives designed to address gender diversity may be applied to improve diversity in ‘beyond gender’ areas. This should reduce the lead in time for entities to establish quantitative objectives for broader diversity areas" It is now almost 10 years later and there is still no progress, change is needed. We are working together with other under-represented groups to make progress. Please join us in making a submisison - the deadline is the 6 May. Our full submission and a summary is attached in the link below.

Diverse boards bring better decision making, better shareholder returns and a bigger pool of talent to draw upon. Why is Australia so far behind developments in the UK, US and Canada and will not catch up for years? Will foreign investors start wondering why Australia does not have a modern approach to diversity? Why is the ASX Corporate Governance Council not moving the dial on board diversity- are they too timid? Read ALBEI's submission on the proposed Corporate Governance Standards that will apply for the next 5 to 7 years. We believe that policy development needs a strong underpinning of data and research and the Watermark Search International and Governance Institute of Australia Board Diversity Index Report has shown that the dial on diversity has not moved in 10 years.

🌈 Like anything in leadership and corporate signalling, authenticity is the most important thing. If you're going to celebrate diversity days, match your celebrations with action. This article explains why companies are getting more supportive, and we love these ideas from Unexpected Virtual Tours too. Check them out here: https://lnkd.in/enkR22wJ Both companies and charities can support and celebrate their teams and customers from all walks of life and backgrounds. This is also a great time to support new communities needing action and change today. A good culture can help your teams be their whole selves at work. Running psychological safety and inclusive leadership training can help everyone feel safe and supported. 🌈 What are you doing to celebrate PRIDE and human rights? #PRIDE #DiversityAndInclusion #AuthenticLeadership #SupportAndCelebrate #InclusiveWorkplace #PsychologicalSafety #HumanRights #MantraStrategy
