"Companies are aware that having a diverse value chain—including suppliers, customers, distributors, and revenue streams—is good for business. Yet many are still to achieve a truly diverse workforce. We foresee a widening competitive gap between companies that adopt effective strategies for workforce and diversity, and those that do not. In our view, inclusion is key to getting the strategy right."
