Episode 128: Insert Yourself! HR, Human Rights & ESG: Suzanne Verzijden, Chief People & Culture Officer, SIG Combibloc

Starting with an overview of how SIG’s strategy contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and her belief that every HR professional creates social change, Suzanne shares the example of her work on human rights across the whole value chain, summarising leadership, cross functional working and measurement approaches.

Discussing future opportunities for the role of HR, Suzanne discusses techniques for reducing gender inequality and the connection to paying living wages, as well as an example of a new competency framework and how it supports what a company wants to stand for.

Calling on everyone in HR to dive into the ESG agenda, Suzanne encourages you to assess how your people practices contribute (or not yet contribute) and to get involved!
