Yara: Now a ‘Leading Light’ in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion In the aftermath of George Floyd’s death and the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, organisations pledged billions of dollars to move the DEI agenda forward. However, we’ve seen very few organisations actually change as a result of these at times empty gestures. Yara International is one notable exception.

All organisations say they’re not racist, but the work of anti-racism requires more than words. Today, the Utopian dream of an anti-racist world has become a living nightmare; a nightmare in which organisations that claim to be diverse and inclusive fail to deliver on their promise of racial equality and the lived experiences of Black, Asian and ethnically diverse people are routinely ignored.
