inclusion within the workplace.
Sodexo has earned the prestigious title of “Advocate” after

Benchmark survey. Companies in this category are paving the way for
LGBTIQ+ inclusion and improving conditions in the workplace, as
well as in society as a whole. Companies are followed on their
progress in eight categories: Policy & Communication, Employee
Networks, Workplace Awareness, Support & Benefits, Inclusion
& Engagement, Expertise & Monitoring, Business &
Supplier Engagement, Impact on Society. Global Pride Co-Chair and

"Part of creating a better everyday for everyone, is about
encouraging our team members to bring their authentic selves to
work. Everyone belongs to a team, acts with a purpose, and thrives
in their own way. We are humbled by this recognition which
demonstrates our commitment to uplifting our LGBTQ+ employees."

on respect, understanding and equal opportunity. Sodexo has grown a

inclusion at work. Based in Amsterdam, Workplace Pride’s activities
include both the Netherlands and many countries around the world.
We strive, using over a decade’s experience and accumulated
knowledge to push the boundaries of LGBTI inclusion in the
workplace. Awareness raising, measurement, research, training and
network building through targeted events are the pillars of the
Foundation’s work. Complementing these are specific programs for
young LGBTI people, people from the Tech industry, the Academic
world and LGBTI women alongside custom-made training. The Workplace

recurring survey that allows participants to track their progress.
It has been developed under the leadership of Workplace Pride and
with the support of the University of Leiden and major employers
and NGOs from several different countries.
