DP World's Director of Global Sustainability on Diversity & Inclusion

Businesses play a crucial part in helping to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – a set of aims led by the United Nations to help build a better world over the next 15 years.

Their main aim is to address societal and environmental issues and provide a way for companies to benchmark their efforts against a recognised global framework.

One of their goals surrounds the ongoing fight to achieving gender equality – with a priority being to provide women and girls with equal access to work and education. This is particularly pressing in developing countries, but even closer to home there is much work to do, says Kathryn Wightman-Beaven, Director of Global Sustainability at DP World.

Speaking to HR Grapevine, she tell us exactly what DP World is doing to champion diversity and help females, both near and far.
