In this episode, Yvonne Howard is joined by David Latten, Head of Procurement at Logitech, a multi-national consumer electronics manufacturer, to discuss the power the procurement function has to influence DEI across the supply chains they work with, and how Logitech has been working to drive gender equality in the tech and gaming industries. 

With a career spanning over a decade, David has a wealth of knowledge in finance and procurement. He comments “Being in the pivot point between the internal and external there is a huge and untapped potential for what procurement can do. Procurement can be a huge force for good and that’s really exciting. No one can do everything, but we can all do something.”Sharing insights into Logitech’s values and its focus on promoting gender equality, David discusses Logitech’s partnership with Gender Fair, a coalition of companies focussed on influencing large consumer organisations to work towards gender equality and live up to the United Nations’ Women’s Empowerment Principles. Yvonne and David also touch on the importance of diversity data reporting, policies, the role of leadership in driving change, ERGs, women in leadership and the challenges of hybrid working.Connect with David on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/david-lattenThe Coalition Home Page: https://genderfairprocurement.com/Follow EW Group on q-s.com%7C6e385384fd664561c68108da73ba600f%7Ca0515ea4733e483eb253b12be243d821%7C0%7C0%7C637949541551422682%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0=%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=47HRpq50kEvTOIlEbRNp1YJrrK2om/HzxmY2XWF1J44=&reserved=0">Twitter and q-s.com%7C6e385384fd664561c68108da73ba600f%7Ca0515ea4733e483eb253b12be243d821%7C0%7C0%7C637949541551422682%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0=%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8leLvpQ0dLY4QNv5Hdo7mBuoF37s6aVCgfaVhqL7YEI=&reserved=0">LinkedIn for the latest news and thinking in DEI or get in touch to find out how we can help you build a more inclusive workplace.
