The Barilla Group implemented an extensive diversity and inclusion program in 2013, taking a unique approach in focusing on unconscious bias and targets rather than quotas. This led to an increase in the number of women in leadership positions and in the leadership pipeline (from 32% in 2014 to 41% in 2015), and receiving a perfect score of 100 in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. This session will explore the business case for DE&I driving innovation, stories to inspire action, and the steps leaders can take to make deep, meaningful changes to their organization.
