Inclusion and diversity

Encouraged by a student-led initiative, the Executive Management Committee (EMC) of ESMT proposed the creation of the Inclusive Leadership Roundtable (ILRT) in March 2017. The ILRT is an effort of its students, staff, faculty, and administrators to prioritize the values and practices of diversity and inclusion within the school and to champion the same in academia and the business community. The ILRT seeks to right what is wrong in the underrepresentation of women and marginalized groups in positions of socioeconomic power and to build paths to equity and equality as an influencer and collaborator on the global stage.
