Diversity & Inclusion by businesses – The case for LGBTQI+ Equity

Substantial diversity and inclusion in corporate policies bring lasting social, economic, and moral benefits not only for themselves but for their customers, employees, investors, and other key stakeholders. This is especially true for LGBTQI+ inclusion, which presents a litmus test for advancing inclusion in business. This discussion aims to help businesses, primarily larger firms, identify these benefits and introduce ideas that can produce tangible and measurable results in the workplace, touching on ESGs and CSR policies. Businesses attending can also understand how to advocate for equality as allies, pushing for positive change by influencing decision-makers.
