Business Advocacy for Justice Reform
29th September 2020, 4pm-6.30pm BST.
In Partnership with Responsible Business Initiative For Justice

Criminal justice is increasingly recognised as one of the most important social issues facing the world. Racial inequality, cycles of poverty and incarceration, and bringing exonerees back into mainstream society are issues we need to address to create a fair and productive society.
Businesses have a voice and the ability to petition stakeholders, change-makers and government to make meaningful change.
Partnering with Responsible Initiative for Justice, we spoke to justice-engaged business leaders as well as formerly incarcerated people, to discuss the challenges and solutions for reform.
