Global Workplace Equality Index
In more than half the world, LGBT people may not be protected by workplace law.
LGBT people face discrimination in every country, and same-sex relationships are criminalised in more than 70. This poses serious legal, ethical and practical challenges to global employers.
The Global Equality Index is free to enter and is open to any multinational organisation, enabling them to navigate these challenges and make progress towards LGBT equality, no matter where in the world they operate. Participating organisations are invited to tell us about their work against a range of criteria. Each section helps organisations to self-assess their progress and identify priorities.
