Inclusive Economies - Senior Manager, ESG Research and Data - Thomson Reuters Foundation
Join a team focused on sustainable human-based economies and human rights.
INCLUSIVE ECONOMIES
There is increasing recognition that the mainstream economic model is generating a deepening divide and hurting our planet. Growing inequality, the climate crisis, the need for a just transition, and the impact of data and technology on people are among the biggest challenges of our time. We work with legal practitioners, civil society actors, policymakers and business leaders, and offer them practical actions and solutions which they can adopt in their efforts to foster equitable, participatory and sustainable business practices that take into account the interests of all stakeholders and create fair opportunities for everyone.
We employ a unique blend of our expertise and convening initiatives to promote the development of the S in ESG agenda, the advancement of social entrepreneurship, and to support a just transition. We also work to make sure that the benefits of technology are spread more widely and shared more fairly, that companies and governments handle people’s data transparently and with accountability, and that such data is used in a non-discriminatory and equitable manner so that they enhance human rights and freedoms.
