Shami Nissan, Partner and Head of Sustainability at Actis, commented:

“The trajectory is going in the right direction. Let’s keep going and let’s keep building on this… why would anybody want to ignore half that talent pool that’s out there?

“Cognitive diversity, avoiding groupthink, and having a broader risk lens to make higher quality decisions are all good things. We want diversity, because we want the best people and we want the best talent.”
