Just in time for the end of 🌈 Pride Month, our friends at LGBTQ+ Victory Institute released their 2024 "Out for America" report. It is packed with insightful stats and data visualizations. We're happy to share it while highlighting a few notable findings: • Every state (plus Washington, D.C.) has at least one out LGBTQ+ elected official serving, totaling at least 1,303 LGBTQ+ elected officials nationwide. • Along with the good news, a caveat: At least 38,193 more LGBTQ+ people must be elected to achieve equitable representation. • Of particular interest to our mission: There are currently 235 LGBTQ+ state lawmakers (and only Louisiana, West Virginia and Idaho have no out legislators). Follow LGBTQ+ Victory Institute or go to https://lnkd.in/ehJwd25S to access the full report Of course, we acknowledge we must keep fighting for justice and fairness, but we also welcome this opportunity to celebrate milestones of progress. 🌈 Happy Pride!

As we celebrate Pride Month, let us also urge employers to foster workplaces that are inclusive and affirming of LGBTQ+ employees. By implementing inclusive policies, providing resources for LGBTQ+ support, and cultivating a culture of acceptance, businesses can create environments where everyone can thrive authentically.

Great article in FT Agenda promoting the Association of LGBTQ+ Directors and the need to improve LGBTQ+ Executives representation in the Boardroom. Diverse teams are known to be more productive and the representation of diverse communities in the Boardroom still needs further improvement. Just as DE&I programs inside firms promote the recruitment of diverse candidates to ensure improved representation across teams, Boards need to adopt similar principles and consider how best to select qualified LGBTQ+ and other diverse candidates. Fabrice C Houdart thank you for your leadership here. #LGBTQ+CorporateDirectors #boardofdirectors #diversityandinclusion #boardgovernance #boardrecruitment

🌈 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
