Transgender individuals\, in particular\, face limited opportunities in the formal labor market\, while stigma and intersecting racial dynamics create additional barriers in this diverse society. \nTo address these challenges\, Workplace Pride will host “LGBTIQ+ Workplace Inclusion in Brazil: A Workplace Evolution” in São Paulo. This interactive\, full-day conference will bring together major employers\, international experts\, and representatives from Brazil’s vibrant LGBTIQ+ civil society. Participants will explore practical strategies to build inclusive workplaces that anticipate future societal and business shifts. \nThe event will take place on 26 March\, 2026\, and will be co-hosted by Workplace Pride Members ABB\, Accenture\, and Sodexo\, organisations dedicated to creating workplaces where all employees\, including those from the LGBTIQ+ community\, can thrive authentically. \nWhy Attend?\n\nLearn from experts: Hear from global and regional LGBTIQ+ inclusion thought leaders\nDiscover actionable strategies: Explore how organizations can foster truly inclusive workplaces\nEngage in interactive sessions: Share insights and solutions with peers and stakeholders\nNetwork with key decision-makers: Connect with business leaders\, HR and D&I professionals\, policymakers\, and civil society\n\nOrganisers & Supporters\n\nOrganiser: Workplace Pride\nCo-Hosts: ABB\, Accenture\, Sodexo\, The Netherlands Embassy in Brazil\nSupporters: Workplace Pride Members\, The Heineken Company/Amstel Beer\, TransEmpregos\, Fórum de Empresas e Direitos LGBTI+\n\nSpeakers\n \nWho Should Attend?\n\nExecutives and decision-makers from multinational companies with operations in Brazil\nHR and D&I professionals\nPoliticians and government representatives\nAcademics and researchers\nLGBTIQ+ civil society leaders\n\nNote: This is an invitation-only event.

She is responsible for defining and implementing strategies that advance sustainability across the organization\, ensuring alignment with   environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) principles. With more than 15 years of experience at Sodexo\, Lilian has built a solid and diversified career\, having worked in Communications and Human Resources\, and later leading Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives for seven years prior to assuming her current role. \nShe also leads initiatives focused on fostering a more inclusive corporate environment\,  with an emphasis on the integration of refugee professionals and the protection and  support of female employees affected by different forms of violence\, notably through Sodexo’s Fadas Madrinhas program.  Lilian is a co-author of the book Diversity and Inclusion – Volume III (2025)\, contributing  the chapter “Refuge and the Climate Crisis”\, and of Collaborative MentoRHia\, with a  chapter dedicated to Refugee Women.  She holds a degree in Marketing from Universidad Complutense de Madrid\, a master’s  degree in strategic communication from Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez\, an Executive MBA  in Strategic and Economic Human Resources Management from Fundação Getulio  Vargas\, and most recently completed an MBA in ESG from BBI of Chicago – BBI Business  Behaviour Institute. \n\nHans DocterDeputy Secretary-General\, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Netherlands) \n \nHans Docter is a senior Dutch diplomat and public sector leader\, appointed Deputy Secretary-General at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs\, effective August 2025. In this role\, he helps lead the Ministry’s global operations\, strengthening international stability\, organisational resilience\, and crisis readiness across embassies and consulates worldwide. He brings extensive experience from leadership roles in The Hague and abroad\, including Director of Sustainable Economic Development and Ambassador to Israel and Ghana. \nHans is known for his people-focused leadership and commitment to building diverse\, inclusive organisations. He studied Dutch Law at the University of Amsterdam and has dedicated his career to advancing international cooperation in a rapidly changing world. \nRainbow Dress\n\n \n\nWe would also like to announce that the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in São Paulo has arranged for the Amsterdam Rainbow Dress to be displayed at the venue throughout the day. \nThe Amsterdam Rainbow Dress is a living work of art\, made from the national flags of countries where being LGBTIQ+ is still illegal—often punishable by imprisonment\, torture\, or even death. When a country adopts inclusive legislation\, its flag is replaced with a rainbow flag\, making the dress an evolving reflection of global progress and the ongoing fight for equality. \nSince 2016\, the dress has been featured at international events and photographed in meaningful locations worldwide\, in collaboration with local communities\, creatives\, and activists. It serves as a striking reminder of both the victories achieved and the challenges that remain for LGBTIQ+ rights. \nThe Amsterdam Rainbow Dress Foundation works to raise awareness\, promote dialogue\, and support inclusion globally. Through partnerships with governments\, corporate organisations\, and civic initiatives\, the Foundation seeks to create meaningful impact and celebrate progress while highlighting where work is still needed. \nVisitors will have the opportunity to see the dress up close\, learn the stories behind the flags\, and reflect on the importance of global inclusion and human rights. \n#AmsterdamRainbowDress \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\nUnibes Cultural\n\nRua Oscar Freire\, 2500 – Sumaré\, São Paulo – SP\, 05409-012\, Brazil\,\n\n\n\n\nunibescultural.org.br
