A company's social responsibility can be interpreted and handled in different ways, and we have seen the field evolve from CSR to ESG. How does this work relate to public policy work?

How do you approach advocacy internally? Should you join a tech giant just to change their ways? Can you change the way a large organization thinks, and if so - how? As a policy professional you have both an opportunity and a duty to voice your opinion, but in a way that can have an impact. We discuss how best to bring your views to the table, and what to avoid in answering another listener's question. Tune in!

We asked for listener questions and you delivered! This episode is based on a question about how to build, think about and work with content policy teams.

Tune in!
