The Corporate Activist
by Siri Khalsa
The Corporate Activist is a new podcast that explores the role of the business sector in today’s complex social and political landscape. On the Corporate Activist we will look at the role of the business sector from all angles, examine the benefits of engagement, as well as the risks. I talk with a broad range of experts to get their perspectives, take an in depth look at some case studies, as well as answer your questions on how you can best navigate these issues in your own business. We discuss how Corporate Activism works in different countries, and the decision making process needed to determine when and how best to take a stance. I’m doing this podcast because I believe the time is now for business to be a driving force for good in the world. I’ve spent decades working across the business, public and non-profit sectors, both in the US and internationally. I have always believed business can do more to be a force for positive change in the world and I hope that this podc
