Media coverage of the situation report
Top Take Away:
The ambassadors identified democracy and elections as the number one issue on which companies need to be prepared to take a public position.
“What can be done in the private sector to stimulate democratic values? Private companies should encourage democratic participation at the workplace, have generous leave policies which allow workers time to vote while encouraging dialogue and cultural awareness.”
— AMBASSADOR (RET) LUIS MORENO
The Rest of the Risks:
Racism, disinformation, & climate change were ranked towards the top.
“The worrisome trend around the world towards authoritarianism means the weakening of the rule of law and heightened corruption. Companies likely see this as reducing transparency on rules and regulations for business and complicating investment decisions.”
— AMBASSADOR (RET) KENNETH YALOWITZ
