Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Challenges Facing Businesses in Relation to Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility: Discussion

Ms Jeanne McDonagh:

Yes. That process has started. We do a lot of work and then we do placements with them. We are bringing employees to them from very diverse backgrounds so that is going to change the way thinking happens. That is very important because especially as they progress it will make a real difference to those organisations. To be fair, they are very open to change and to new ideas. That is very important to say. We are going to see a real impact from the work we have started doing with them. They are really good to work with and very open-minded, which is key. They are also very open to collaboration, which is also key. I have great hopes for the future.
