SUSTAINABILITY
information on the vaccine which is honest and , above all , empowering to every individual . The commitment to a diverse , sustainable workforce , is a commitment to a better world — and the need to embrace inclusivity has never been greater .
There is an important distinction , however , between the need to be heard and malicious refusal to be vaccinated . All great discoveries are a reflection of society and the dangerous spreading of false information is unquestionably a manifestation of our times which could have a negative impact on business sustainability .
There is an onus , as with any matter relating to health and safety , on companies to reduce or eliminate this risk . This means getting behind the vaccine and having the mechanisms in place which eradicate scepticism or recklessness . After all , someone who is refusing to receive the vaccine is no less dangerous than someone blithely setting fire to the carpets . Anti-vaxx culture could easily spread in the offices and corridors of our corporate infrastructure , which is why CSOs will already be hatching plans to handle a significant and highly dangerous minority which are explicitly opposed to the vaccine .
It is worth recalling that when the first cinemas opened , early audiences thought the train on the film was going to burst through the screen , and they dived into the aisles to avoid it . Once they realised , however , that their fear was unfounded , and that the locomotive didn ’ t present any danger , they picked up their popcorn and continued watching the movie .
The challenge for us is to convince the world that the vaccine train is taking us all back home , and no one should be left behind . sustainabilitymag . com 135
