Live on Zoom at 12:00 PM, a new event from the sustainability consulting firm will explore the strategic value of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion through real-world insights.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) policies are at the center of an increasingly heated global debate. On April 2 at 12:00 PM, Amapola Café—Amapola’s dedicated discussion platform—will bring together perspectives, data, and testimonies on a topic that continues to spark division. Titled “DEI Under Attack? Why It Remains a Competitive Advantage“, this open and unfiltered conversation will shed light on the ongoing shifts and the potential consequences of stepping back from DEI commitments.

The DEI Backlash
An increasing number of companies are reversing course, scaling back or even eliminating their inclusion initiatives under pressure from political movements and polarized opinions. However, data tells a different story: businesses investing in DEI see an average 24% increase in revenue and enjoy stronger trust from consumers and stakeholders.
What are the risks of abandoning DEI? And how can we prevent the debate from turning into an ideological standoff, losing sight of the real value of inclusion?
The webinar will explore the DEI backlash phenomenon, analyzing the factors driving some global brands to reassess their inclusion strategies and the impact on the international market. Leading the discussion will be Emilia Blanchetti, senior DEI consultant, and Micol Burighel, Head of Communications at Amapola.
The event will also feature video testimonials from Monica Cerutti, Board Member of UN Women Italy, and Laura Carletti, CSR & HR Manager at Randstad Italy. They will offer insights on the global landscape and discuss why inclusion remains a core pillar of modern organizations. When DEI is truly embedded in corporate culture, walking away isn’t so easy—its impact extends across all business dimensions, from market positioning to workplace climate, driving growth, reputation, and long-term trust.
