With a passion for building inclusive workplaces and a wealth of experience in learning and development, Janet and Ron are dedicated to equipping leaders with the skills they need to create environments where everyone can thrive. In this episode, we delve into: • What inclusive leadership really means, and why it's about more than just policies. • The inspiration behind Community Business's Inclusive Leadership Programme, and Ron's personal connection to its mission. • The key components of the programme, including how it helps leaders discover their strengths, address unconscious biases, and create psychological safety. • The challenges that leaders face when trying to create more inclusive workplaces, particularly in the Asian context (changing deep-rooted cultural norms, recognising unconscious biases, etc.). • Practical advice for leaders who are just starting out on their journey towards inclusive leadership, emphasising self-reflection, openness to feedback, and authenticity. • How inclusive leadership contributes to achieving gender equality in the workplace and why it's important to involve everyone, not just women. • Practical actions for how to be an ally. Join us as we explore Janet and Ron's insights on becoming a more inclusive leader and championing gender equality in the workplace. Tune in now!

With guests Dr. Inna Amesheva (ESG Book) and Janet Ledger (Commuity Business)In time for International Women's Day on March 8th, Dr. Inna Amesheva and Janet Ledger explore the evolving role of ESG in regulation and inclusion. Dr. Amesheva, Head of ESG Regulatory Solutions at ESG Book, examines Europe's push to simplify ESG rules, while Janet Ledger, CEO of Community Business, highlights how ESG drives diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) despite growing political backlash.As companies navigate complex ESG regulations and rising calls for transparency, this episode examines the balance between reducing compliance burdens and maintaining sustainability standards.The Omnibus Proposal: Simplifying ESG or Scaling Back Standards?Dr. Inna Amesheva deep dives into the EU Omnibus Proposal, an initiative aiming to streamline ESG compliance by consolidating frameworks like the EU Taxonomy and CSRD. The proposal could reduce corporate reporting burdens by 33%, but critics argue it may weaken sustainability standards.What's driving this shift? Political and economic factors, including macroeconomic pressures and the impact of recent U.S. elections, are influencing the European Commission's stance on ESG.The discussion also touches on making some ESG metrics voluntary—a move that could ease compliance but raise transparency concerns. Additionally, changes to the Green Asset Ratio (GAR) could allow banks to use estimation models for non-European companies, potentially improving global ESG alignment but also sparking debate over data reliability and consistency.ESG as a Driver for DEIShifting to ESG's role in workplace inclusion, Janet Ledger shares her journey from working-class Australia to leadership in Hong Kong, emphasizing the strong link between ESG and DEI.She explains how the social and governance pillars of ESG—covering workforce diversity, human rights, and board transparency—directly support DEI objectives. Companies that integrate both ESG and DEI tend to see stronger reputations, better talent retention, and competitive advantages.Examples like mandated pay equity reporting in Australia and board diversity requirements illustrate how ESG frameworks can drive meaningful change. However, Janet warns against box-ticking approaches, stressing that genuine commitment and measurable action are key.Navigating Backlash and Staying the CourseWith ESG and DEI facing increasing political scrutiny, some critics dismiss them as “woke capitalism.” Despite this, younger employees and investors prioritize ESG-driven companies, seeing them as essential for long-term success.Janet underscores the need for fact-based, rational communication to counter misinformation. She encourages businesses to stay the course, emphasizing that ethical business practices benefit all—driving performance, innovation, and societal progress.The Regulatory Ramblings podcast is brought to you by The University of Hong Kong's Reg/Tech Lab (Building Better Financial Systems), HKU-SCF FinTech Academy, Asia Global Institute, and HKU-edX Professional Certificate in FinTech, with support from HKU Law.

Regine fell in love with wine while studying abroad during college in Besançon, France and began her career as a salesperson for a wine distributor. While in this role, she noticed a disconnect between wine professionals and consumers. Making wine approachable became a central premise of Regine's work. In 2013, Regine established Shall We Wine, a wine and spirits experiential marketing, event planning, and education company. Working with national and boutique winemakers, distilleries, importers, and distributors, she increases brand awareness, reach, and revenue for clients through innovative and traditional approaches.

Regine was the virtual event moderator for Gallo International Women's Month (2021 and 2023). Regine is a regular contributor for WGN's Daytime Chicago television show. Language is integral to Rousseau's work as a poet and published author where wine and written word are often interwoven. In her book Searching for Cloves and Lilies: The Wine Edition, Regine illustrates the dynamics of personal relationships while pairing each poem with wine that echoes the mood of her writing. Regine is recipient of the Wine Bloggers Conference Ethnifacts Diversity Scholarship, grants from McBride Sisters Collections and Allies for Community Business, and Knox College's 2020 Alumni Achievement Award. She is fluent in French, Haitian Creole, and English. She has a BA from Knox College, studied at L'Université de Franche Comte and Centre de Linguistique Appliquée.

Welcome to the This Is Me in Asia Podcast Series brought to you by Community Business in partnership with Bloomberg and the Lord Mayor's Appeal. This storytelling campaign aims to normalise mental health conversations in the workplace and tackle the stigma associated with mental health conditions and disability.   Telling a story is not just about creating awareness, it is also an act of catharsis for the teller. When one person decides to share their own story - they speak not just for themselves but for many others who may be in the same boat but may not be confident enough to share. So when someone with a personal experience of mental health problems shares their story, they are not just helping themselves, they are doing a great service for the entire community. By sharing their story, they help create a better world. Lean More: https://bit.ly/3PbKejF

Having joined Community Business in April, my first introduction to the company and the members/clients of this organisation through our conference “What's Race Got to Do with It?.” We spent three days attempting to narrow down what race and racial discrimination consisted of in Asia, and how we should approach it individually and within organisations. We walked through our research which demonstrated that this is a priority – 81% of 2000+ employees surveyed highlighted that they expect organisations to address it internally and externally. While there were a lot of great takeaways from this conference, do you know what the biggest was for me?
