Insights from Peter Bodin

Peter Bodin

Peter Bodin, global CEO, Grant Thornton International, says the importance of inclusivity is undeniable.

The importance of gender equality and more women in leadership positions is coming from all stakeholders. Politicians, investors, regulators, our own clients and our own people.

I know from my own personal experience that gender diversity leads to higher performance, a more inclusive culture, more balanced decisions, and I believe a business that is not gender balanced is not going to be sustainable. The responsibility to build that inclusive culture is in the hands of us as leaders.

The #MeToo movement is giving a voice and confidence to women to speak out. Every day, we need to stand up, call out and take action against unacceptable behaviours.
