Intersectionality, Diversity, and Lessons from Nature

Bristol Women in Business Charter and Bristol Zoological Society are coming together to host an exclusive in-person event for our signatories, exploring the power of intersectionality and diversity in the workplace—through the lens of the natural world.

Just as ecosystems thrive on biodiversity, businesses and leadership teams flourish when they embrace diverse perspectives and backgrounds.

However, underrepresented women, particularly those at the intersections of race, disability, and socioeconomic background, continue to face barriers in advancing to senior roles. Nature teaches us that true resilience and innovation come from variety, adaptability, and inclusion. What can we learn from the natural world to build stronger, more equitable workplaces?

This event will bring together leading experts from both business and conservation to explore:

• The parallels between biodiversity in nature and intersectionality in the workplace.

• The challenges faced by underrepresented women in leadership and what businesses can do to drive meaningful change.

• How nature’s interconnected systems can inspire more inclusive and sustainable leadership models. intersectionality and diversity in the workplace—through the lens of the natural world.
