Pearl Initiative’s Diversity in Business Leadership Programme is pleased to invite you to an upcoming webinar that brings together leading perspectives, titled:
Applying a Corporate Governance Lens to Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace
8 June 2026 | 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM GST | Virtual Webinar
Businesses today operate in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing environment, where the ability to adapt, assess risk effectively, and respond with agility has become a critical differentiator. Within this context, diversity and inclusion in the workplace is increasingly recognised as a strategic lever that can strengthen decision-making, enhance innovation, and enable more adaptive responses to uncertainty.
However, these outcomes are not automatic.
This session will explore how applying a governance lens can support organisations in moving from intent to impact by embedding diversity and inclusion into organisational processes, accountability structures, and day-to-day decision-making. The discussion will focus on practical approaches to aligning diversity and inclusion with business priorities, strengthening implementation, and ensuring outcomes that are both sustained and measurable.
Our expert speakers are:
- Zina Aljanabi, COO, PwC Iraq | Inclusion & Diversity Lead, PwC Middle East
- Jordana Semaan, Managing Director, Chief of Staff – Middle East & Asia Pacific, ZCG Arabia
- Shatha Awdah Al-Shammari, Senior Manager, Change Management, SABIC
