Rainbow Washing' refers to companies using #pride symbols and aesthetics without genuinely supporting LGBTQ+ rights and dignity. The LGBTQ+ community faces workplace challenges like discrimination and lack of representation. Companies must actively create inclusive environments beyond Pride Month, showing a constant commitment to equality and inclusion.🌈🌈 Instead of falling into Rainbow Washing, we should focus on concrete actions promoting diversity and inclusion. This means implementing non-discrimination policies, training and awareness programs, and ensuring active LGBTQ+ representation at all levels, both internally and externally. Pride is not confined to a month but requires ongoing commitment.🌈🌈 We love being the ones who accompany you in boosting your brand. #womenownedmedia #nondiscrimantion #minorities

The LGBTQ+ community currently wields $1 trillion in spending power—a metric that is only expected to grow. As the community becomes increasingly represented in employee and consumer bases alike, what role should corporations play in LGBTQ+ rights? How does it inform how and when companies make business decisions?” You can watch the whole panel here: https://lnkd.in/gBnrUVS6 #MIGLOBAL
