In today's business landscape, responsibility and sustainability are no longer optional or "nice to have." Modern stakeholders don't just expect an environmental, social and governance (ESG) focus, they demand it. Being a good corporate citizen today is "table stakes." Simultaneously, many of the corporate social responsibility departments companies launched in the last 30 years aren't thinking enough about innovation, growth, business-focused results and resilience. Table Stakes discusses the issues of sustainability with forward-thinking leaders to forecast the future of responsible business. Being ethical, human and sustainable is no longer optional – it's table stakes.

37. Pride Month Read Responsibly Books and Authors Series with Ellie Roscher
<p>What does it mean for a body to belong — in sports, in the workplace, in the world? In this Pride Month episode of Table Stakes, host Marcy Twete sits down with Minneapolis author, educator, and former two-sport college athlete Ellie Roscher to discuss <i>Fair Game: Trans Athletes and the Future of Sports</i>, co-authored with Dr. Anna Baeth. They dig into the myths driving anti-trans sports legislation, the stories of the 20 trans athletes interviewed for the book, and why the fight over who gets to play is really a fight over who gets to belong — in locker rooms, in boardrooms, and everywhere in between. Plus: what embodied leadership looks like, why psychological safety is a structural problem before it's a personal one, and the book Ellie is working through with a group of women in commercial real estate right now.</p>

They also dig into the war over ESG terminology, the quiet disappearance of the word "ethics" from corporate vocabulary, and why the money in publishing a book is never actually in the book.</p>
