Attending the Female Quotient Lounge at Climate Week NYC, held at Deloitte’s NYC offices, provided a valuable opportunity to step away from the daily responsibilities and reflect on how we can contribute to a greater purpose. The event featured senior leaders in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) from Salesforce, Delta Airlines, and World Central Kitchen. Their insights led to an engaging discussion, offering the audience a wealth of meaningful takeaways.
A growing trend in business is integrating purpose-driven agendas into the core of operations. Companies like Salesforce and Delta Airlines exemplify this shift, where sustainability and purpose are no longer seen as side projects but as essential elements of their business strategy.
According to Sunya Norman, Senior Vice President of ESG Strategy & Engagement at Salesforce, operationalizing values is crucial. She emphasized that today, companies are not only driven by profit but also by their values. At Salesforce, the focus is on embedding sustainability into every department, ensuring that each function contributes to the company’s overall ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals.
