We champion a workplace where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and all other members of the LGBT+ community can bring their authentic selves to work—fully supported in our network. We're delivering on that commitment every day through our network LGBT+ inclusion strategy.
LGBT+ inclusion looks different around the world. While we adhere to the laws of each country where we operate, we do not tolerate discrimination—including sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression. We go further, actively embracing individuality and lived experiences, as reflected in our global human rights policy and Global Code of Conduct. That's why our LGBT+ inclusion strategy is intentionally adaptable—designed to account for local realities and confirm meaningful advocacy and support in every region.

Leadership commitment
We strive for full leadership commitment to LGBT+ inclusion.
LGBT+ Inclusion is one of the five global drivers for change and also a dimension of focus in a large number of our member firms. We continue to work with our I&D leaders across the globe to foster accelerated levels of leadership commitment to LGBT+ inclusion. We believe this is key to fostering a supportive and inclusive work culture for our LGBT+ colleagues and for all.

Amplifying and growing our Shine inclusion networks
To cultivate spaces where our people can be their most authentic selves, we will continue to focus on the growth of our Shine inclusion networks across the globe, seeking opportunities to unify and amplify their efforts. We will also heighten awareness of our Shine initiatives around our network.
Data and self-disclosure
We aim to cultivate a space where our people feel able to share their lived experiences. To mark progress towards this goal, we are identifying opportunities for a more data-driven approach to LGBT+ inclusion and are asking member firms to track LGBT+ data. In support of this, where legally permissible, we have enabled self-identification processes within our people systems and our Global People Survey.
Education and awareness
To give our people a better understanding of LGBT+ lived experiences, and foster a greater environment of inclusiveness, we are taking steps to increase awareness of the LGBT+ community and their stories. We will create comprehensive communications and educational materials to foster LGBT+ awareness and allyship and increase recognition of the LGBT+ community.
Role modelling, visibility and representation
We want all of our people to see themselves represented in our leadership and supported on their path of career advancement. To encourage this, we will highlight LGBT+ leaders from across the network, drive visibility and help identify paths for our LGBT+ talent to grow and thrive. We will also focus on the attraction and recruitment of LGBT+ talent.
