A Call To Action
DOWNLOAD THE FULL PRESS RELEASE BELOW:
More and more, this comes with a responsibility to engage with their own employees as well as with the very communities where the businesses are located. Not surprisingly, businesses are increasingly obliged to also have at least an opinion on legislative and cultural issues that impact Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, (LGBT+) inclusion.
While this is challenging enough on a national level, working across national borders brings an entirely different level of complexity, risk and uncertainty. LGBT+ legal, political and cultural parameters around the world are constantly shifting, and the demands of civil society and local communities in this space grow ever louder. Although it may be ‘safer’ to avoid engagement altogether, those multinationals who have been very vocal about creating inclusive environments for all of their employees worldwide, including for LGBT+ people, now face a fundamental dilemma of how to move forward.
