The month of June is an opportunity to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and reinforce the importance of an inclusive and supportive culture. To celebrate Pride, we asked some of our associates to share their own personal messages of what Pride means to them, the importance of greater inclusivity and diversity, and what can be done to make the industry - and world as a whole - a more welcoming place.

🌈 Celebrating Diversity in the Workplace 🌟 In today's ever-evolving business landscape, diversity and inclusion are not just buzzwords – they're essential components of success. As a commercial professional, I've witnessed firsthand the incredible impact that a company's commitment to recognizing and giving visibility to the LGBT community can have on its culture, productivity, and bottom line. From my personal experience S&P Global understands that embracing diversity isn't just the right thing to do – it's the smart thing to do. By fostering an environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work, we unleash the full potential of our team and drive innovation like never before. When employees feel supported and included, they are more engaged, motivated, and loyal. By championing diversity in all its forms, we attract top talent from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, enriching our company culture and fueling our competitive advantage. The commitment to diversity goes beyond mere rhetoric – it's ingrained in everything we do. From the inclusive hiring practices to employee resource groups and allyship initiatives, S&P Global is dedicated to creating a workplace where everyone can thrive, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. As we celebrate Pride Month, let's not just pay lip service to diversity and inclusion – let's take tangible action to build a more equitable and inclusive world for all. Together, we can create workplaces where everyone belongs and where diversity is not just accepted, but celebrated. Join us in making a difference – because when we embrace diversity, we all win. 🏳️🌈 #PrideAtWork #DiversityAndInclusion #InclusiveCulture #PrideMonth #spglobal #spdji #spmexico
Pride month celebrates the LGBTQ+ community, recognizing their history, accomplishments, and unwavering resilience in the face of ongoing discrimination. At S&P Global, this month and every month, we reiterate our dedication to fostering a safe, inclusive, and supportive workplace where everyone can thrive authentically.

This month, let’s not just celebrate Pride. Let’s RADIATE Pride! In many ways, this is a tough moment for the Queer community. Extremists forces are trying to dim our light. But even in the moments that feel overwhelming and filled with doubt, we can still demonstrate solidarity and unity. We can speak up and speak out. And like we have always done, we can outshine and persevere. Here’s what you can do: 🌈To those who identify as LGBTQ+: Radiate Pride by wrapping yourself in our community. Queer joy is powerful. Queer resilience is real. When we work together, our community is unstoppable. 🌈To company and organization leaders: Radiate Pride by focusing on the future. Right now, it may seem easy to downplay and deprioritize the values of DEI. I’d ask you to look past this moment—and lean into what’s ahead. 🌈To allies: Remember, you have an important role to play in pushing our movement forward. Radiate Pride by supporting the LGBTQ+ community all year round. Together, we can build a world where everyone belongs.

An excellent post on how, Allies, corporations and those in the community can work to continue to move forward on progress in spite of the negative forces confronting us. Now more than ever, companies need to double down on and publically reinforce their commitments to diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace policies and positions. Those that do will attract and retain the top talent needed to take them into a successful future.

Are brands pulling back on support for Pride this year? It has been a few weeks since I chatted about this with Allison Carter at Ragan Communications and PR Daily and I still believe that they are not. Rather, I think we are seeing fewer brands veering into the rainbow-washing space given the heightened risk of criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates (and vocal anti-LGBT activists) on inauthentic or superficial and performative allyship. However, those brands that understand that action earns trust are continuing to support Pride by uplifting their work to embrace inclusive policies, creating impact-focused purpose-driven campaigns, and promoting a culture of belonging by celebrating and uplifting their employees, consumers, and partners. These brands are not backing away from those values and there is plenty of data to show that this will continue to drive growth, as noted by this year's #ReturnOnLeadership (ROL) Index, comprised of companies with strategic clarity, alignment, focus, and a sense of meaning, showing that the ROL Index (+49%) has outpaced both the S&P 500 (+26%) and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (+11%) over the past three years.
Corporate Pride celebrations have faced backlash in recent years, grappling with challenges such as rainbow-washing and controversies surrounding corporate partnerships. Gerry Rodriguez, SVP, Brand Purpose and leader of our LGBTQ+ taskforce 'OutFront,' recently discussed these issues with PR Daily. He highlighted the necessity of genuine engagement and visibility, signaling a broader shift in corporate values towards inclusivity and true support for the LGBTQ+ community: https://edl.mn/4cfbh8a #EverydayPride

As the executive sponsor of our Proud@BAM network I have witnessed first hand the work that has gone on to make BAM UK & Ireland an inclusive workplace, where we can all feel respected and supported in everything we do. So clearly it disappoints me to see that 47% of respondents in a recent survey we did don’t think that the construction industry is an accepting industry for the LGBTQ+ community. The findings are concerning and demonstrates that our sector, along with so many others, still has lots of work to do to create a more inclusive environment. As an industry we can’t afford to lose out on talented people if we are to build a sustainable tomorrow and deliver the infrastructure our country needs to thrive. But change will only come if we all do our bit. It’s everyone’s responsibility, from managers, colleagues to businesses to ensure that everyone feels safe and able to bring their true self to work. Inclusion is not just ‘a nice to have’, it’s a win-win for everyone.

How accepting are we of the LGBTQ+ community in our industry? What needs to be done to improve inclusion and make sure people feel welcome to be themselves? To celebrate Pride and encourage conversations around inclusion and identity, BAM conducted a survey to identify areas in which the industry needs to improve. Over 700 people shared their thoughts, click on to see what we found: https://orlo.uk/y2NQX 🌈 #Pride2024 #Inclusion #MakingPossible #Pride 🌈 Building Equality | Pride in London | Manchester Pride | Birmingham Pride (UK) Ltd | Brighton Pride CIC

As we near the end of Pride Month, we look forward to continuing to bring awareness to the benefits and need for inclusivity in the boardroom. Let's continue to promote diversity, equity, and acceptance in our governance practices, ensuring every voice is heard and valued. We admire the work of the Association of LGBTQ+ Corporate Directors and value their participation on the NACD Center for Inclusive Governance’s advisory council. https://ow.ly/k6XN50SmES4
