Diversity of thoughts and experiences strengthens organizations and drives significant changes in society, and we are excited to promote this debate and contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable future”, says Carlos Moreira, Brazilian Plastic Institute Executive Director & Think Plastic Brazil CPO.

Female leadership is not just about representation, but about real impact on business. More diverse and sustainable companies are also more innovative and competitive”, highlights Neivia Justa, who in addition to being a speaker, is one of the most influential voices on LinkedIn on diversity and corporate communication.

In addition to reflections on careers and challenges in the market, the roundtable will provide valuable insights on how companies can foster a more inclusive and sustainable environment, promoting structural changes that benefit society as a whole.
