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
Being open to diversity is first and foremost an opportunity that enriches us. Listening to what is different from our view, brings innovation to our work."
