Why EDI is Important for Irish Charities
In today's rapidly evolving society, it seems to us that the principles of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion are not just moral imperatives but strategic necessities. At Lionheart Corporate Governance, we believe that embedding these values into the core of regulated Irish charities can crystallise profound societal change, ensuring that every individual and our community thrives.
