“Aegon Proud organises a year-round spectrum of events aligned to the key dates in the LGBTQI+ calendar,” says Ross Bradley-Rae, global head of enablement at Aegon Asset Management and co-chair of Aegon Proud.

“These include Pride events in Edinburgh and Essex, and globally we support National Coming Out Day in all our offices as well as the introduction of LGBTQI+ Allies. Representing Aegon at Pride events is important for me as it continues to reinforce that I am who I am."

Each year on 17 May, DWS supports International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. All colleagues are encouraged to wear something purple for the day to show their support.

DWS also invites speakers to share insights, break down stereotypes and act as an advocate for LGBTIQ+ equality. Recently, Nicola Adams (pictured, in blue), who won the first female gold boxing medal at the London 2012 Olympic games, hosted an event for colleagues.

“Everyone should be able to be themselves and having a more inclusive workplace means better outcomes,” says Ori Chandler, head of inclusion for Aviva. “We recently launched Aviva Pride’s Allies Guide, which has specific content for employees to learn more about being an ally for trans and non-binary colleagues."

“Aviva offers parental leave policies regardless of sexual orientation, transitioning policies, workplace adjustment policies, guides for being allies and more. Our Pride Network will be hosting activities and events to inform and educate and drive allyship across the business and we will continue our sponsorship of the Dive In festival.”
