Questions and Answers

In this episode, I’m joined by Perween Richards, Director of Research at Stance Advocacy Services. As the final episode in our first series we wanted to do a Question and Answer session to provide advice to listeners on how to best navigate some of the key issues around Corporate Activism. We share best practices on how businesses can leverage their resources for good, as well as the issues and challenges which may arise from it.  We hope our advice will help inspire listeners and help everyone to be a Corporate Activist.Perween is a publishing professional with advocacy and public affairs experience across a variety of organisations, with a focus on women’s and human rights in the Middle East.
