🌈 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

"The Biggest April Fool's Joke? That Inequality Still Exists in 2024" As we step into April 1st, 2024, it's tempting to play pranks and share laughs. However, at Mist LGBTQ Foundation, we're spotlighting a 'joke' that's far from funny—the persistent inequality and exclusion faced by many in the LGBTQ+ community. While we engage in the day's fun, let's also remember the importance of action, awareness, and advocacy in creating a world where love, identity, and expression are no laughing matter. Today, let's pledge to be allies not just in word but in action. Let's work together to make the idea of inequality the biggest April Fool's joke of all—a relic of the past that no longer holds any truth. Join us in making inclusivity and equality a reality for all, today and every day. #AprilFoolsDay2024 #InclusivityIsNoJoke #EqualityForAll #MistLGBTQFoundation

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.

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.
