LGBTQ+ inclusion = Profitability Or at least that’s what new research by Davos suggests. They found that the Top 25 companies for LGBTQ+ transparency were 2.3 times more profitable than the bottom 25. We've got a long way to go for DE&I-related issues. But it’s great to see businesses reap the rewards for attracting and retaining a diverse workforce. #diversity #queer

The closest we could get to a Pride-infused article involving Corporate law!! Thanks Darryl Chew for spearheading this informative piece about certain Diversity disclosures required to be made by LSE-listed companies. This is part of the FCA's push to encourage an improvement in diversity-related reporting and target-hitting.

Happy pride month! 🏳️🌈❤️ As we step into this vibrant month of celebration, I want to take a moment to reflect on the importance of visibility for queer individuals in the office space. As a proud lesbian and poly person, I understand the profound impact that being seen and acknowledged can have on an individual. It's about more than just being present; it's about creating a space where we can all feel safe, supported, and free to express our true selves without fear. While we celebrate Pride, we must also confront the rise in hate crimes in Norway (as well as the rest of the world), a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for true equality. Let's stand united against such hate and advocate for a society where love and acceptance prevail. Visibility matters. It paves the way for understanding, acceptance, and change. This Pride, let's commit to fostering an environment where every voice is heard, every identity is respected, and every person can thrive. Here's to celebrating our unique journeys and the collective progress we've made. #Pride #Inclusivity #Visibility

Proud to share my learnings on effective CSR communication at the Sustainability Leadership Training Program. When it comes to owning a topic like equality and inclusion, clear, authentic messaging is key. The rainbow movement has gained significant momentum in recent years - an important societal shift that forward-thinking SMEs should thoughtfully consider how to authentically embrace. There are certainly nuances to navigate, but the opportunity to demonstrate values-driven leadership on issues like LGBTQ+ equality is compelling. #SMESS #SustainableLeadership #CorporateCommunications
