“We have an open door policy and we listen to all our colleagues. Those issues are in society. We definitely don’t have that problem here. I would know if we hired racist people.” CEO, 2021

You could probably never foresee that you, and other members of your board, would have to spearhead some of these conversations and take accountability for turning commitments into action.
