What ethical dilemmas lie behind the names and values we uphold in communication?

Ahmed Gaara, Consultant, PhD Candidate at Rotterdam School of Management, challenges us to think beyond labels in his latest article for the blog. Reflecting on insights from the 2024, Ahmed examines how words like “sustainability,” “inclusivity,” and “transparency” carry expectations—and sometimes conflicts.

He points out the tensions that can arise:

🌿 may pit environmental goals against financial priorities.

🤝 could unintentionally create identity categories that overlook individual merits.

🔍 Transparency might inadvertently exacerbate societal polarisation.

Agmed’s article invites us to see names not as mere labels but as sources of ethics, reflection, and responsibility. Are we ready to rise to the challenge?

- Employee well-being is non-negotiable: Fair pay, mental health support, and inclusive workplaces are the baseline.
- Purpose at the core: To them, isn’t a fad; it remains an expectation.
- Transparency rules the day: Authenticity isn’t just appreciated – it’s required if you want to get their attention.
