Welcome to Sustain Talks, where we delve into the heart of social impact and sustainability. In this episode, we sit down with Hephzi Pemberton, the visionary founder of Honordex, as she takes us on her remarkable journey from investment banking to entrepreneurship, driven by a passion for positive change.

Hephzi shines a light on the transformative power of business in driving social impact, championing transparency and fairness through her ground breaking platform, Honordex. With a mission to rank companies on their social sustainability, she advocates for accountability and measurement as keys to progress.

Throughout our conversation, Hephzi underscores the critical importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, sharing both triumphs and challenges in this ongoing journey towards equality. From the imperative of leadership buy-in to the necessity of fostering an inclusive organisational culture, she leaves no stone unturned in her quest for a more just and equitable world.

But our dialogue doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of systemic bias. Hephzi's candid accounts of racism and sexism in business underscore the urgent need for action and allyship. It's shocking what still goes on and we're reminded of the collective responsibility to confront and dismantle these barriers.

Yet, amidst these challenges, there's hope. Hephzi's upcoming campaign for Pride serves as a beacon of empowerment and advocacy, highlighting the power of storytelling and community support in driving meaningful change. As we discuss strategies for promoting diversity and inclusion, from dedicated capital pools to personal resilience, it's clear that the path forward is paved with courage and compassion.

I hope you find this as awakening as I did and take the much needed steps to create change and fight for diversity, equity and inclusion and bring it to the forefront.
