Sponsoring Pride parades in Milan, Vienna, and Munich

Celebrating our LGBTQIA+ colleagues. 

This year, for the first time, UniCredit was an official sponsor of Pride parades in Austria, Germany and Italy – as well as participating in other dedicated activities across all our markets. Pride Month, in June, was an important moment to renew our support to the LGBTQIA+ community and spread awareness and positivity, promoting equal rights for all and celebrating colleagues across the Group. 

Led by the Unicorns – our Employee Network dedicated to the LGBTQIA+ community – colleagues reinforced their “United in diversity” slogan. Across the three countries where UniCredit was an official sponsor, more than 300 colleagues and allies joined the celebrations – with our teams in Austria and Germany riding dedicated Pride trucks in their respective parades.

And we showcased our dedication to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community beyond Pride Month alone, through initiatives including:

• Group training on Global DE&I Policies and Unconscious Bias 

• DE&I Guidelines for Inclusive Language, Inclusive Recruitment and Gender Transition 

• Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Global Policy and Policy against Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Bullying and Anti-retaliation

• Continued sharing and usage of inclusive icons

• Preferred pronouns in e-signatures Milestone
