Lord Mayor’s Coffee Colloquies: SDG10-Reduced Inequality: Productivity & Employee Share Ownership
Conference
You are invited to join the Esop Centre and City of London representatives at a Coffee Colloquy, on Tuesday, 13 February 2024, in Mansion House, Walbrook, London EC4N 8BH. This event is part of a series of workshops over the next 10 months on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Timing: 08.45am for a 09:00am start.
Organised by the Employee Share Ownership Centre, the colloquy will address the SDG 10: Reduced inequality within and among countries. While markets and trade liberalisation have lifted billions out of poverty in recent decades, stark differences between and within nations persist. The speakers will highlight the forces, trends and techniques that will help to reduce inequalities, not least the financial participation of employees in enterprise.
The broad range of experts will consider how inequality might be addressed by raising productivity helped by the use of employee share ownership. Factors that contribute to this include ground-up volunteer led initiatives, and the practical steps individuals can take to contribute to closing the gap between the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots.’
