Can Companies Afford to Ignore DEI? Join the Discussion at the Next Amapola Café
On April 2, live on Zoom, a new event to explore the strategic value of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. Because stepping back is not an option.
More and more companies are reversing course on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) policies, scaling back or entirely scrapping their initiatives under pressure from political movements and polarized debates. But the data tells a different story: businesses investing in DEI see an average 24% increase in revenue and gain stronger trust from consumers and stakeholders. Now, at a time when uncertainty and confusion risk undermining years of progress, it’s crucial to reaffirm the importance of these commitments.
We’ll discuss it on Wednesday, April 2, at 12:00 PM, in the next Amapola Café, our live discussion format on Zoom. The event, titled “DEI Under Attack? Why It Remains a Competitive Advantage,” will offer an open dialogue on this increasingly debated issue. Leading the conversation will be Emilia Blanchetti, senior DEI consultant, and Micol Burighel, Head of Communications at Amapola. The discussion will also feature video testimonials from Monica Cerutti, Board Member of UN Women Italy, and Laura Carletti, CSR & HR Manager at Randstad Italy.

DEI Under Attack: Hold the Line or Change Course?
What does it really mean to walk away from DEI? And what impact could it have on business and brand reputation?
In the next Amapola Café, we’ll dive into this DEI rollback phenomenon, analyzing its causes and consequences while comparing data, strategies, and firsthand experiences. We’ll highlight the choices of companies that have strengthened their DEI commitment—turning it into a driver of growth and innovation—and examine the tangible effects of these initiatives on people, businesses, and markets.
Because when inclusion is truly embedded in corporate culture, dismantling it isn’t so easy. Its value resonates across all aspects of business: from strong stakeholder relationships to market competitiveness, internal well-being, and consumer trust.
