Is shipping as committed to creating diverse and equitable workplaces as it is to its green initiatives?
Cristina Munoz, co-founder and chief operating officer at Bound4Blue, does not think so and has witnessed men get up and leave conference rooms during sessions that discuss environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues.
“I believe that equity and diversity within your team really has an impact on your P&L [profit and loss] account, so I’m very curious to know why other companies in shipping are not really embracing this diversity and this equity just like sustainability within their own ventures,” she said.
