Understanding Ethical and Responsible Business Practices

Hello and welcome to tHRive at work! Today we are discussing the topic of "Ethical and Responsible Business Practices within an Organisation", with Jo Lord, Founder of Byen LTD - a business that works with other progressive business founders and their teams, to help navigate the path to a more socially and environmentally responsible business. We wanted to delve into this very relevant and current topic as many leaders are in a transitional phase, shifting their business model to consider all stakeholders in a more people and purpose focused way.
