UN LGBTQI

We are proud to announce that Collinson has become a signatory of the UN Standards of Conduct for Business, helping to tackle discrimination against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) people. These are not only a transformative set of guidelines focusing on rights and fair treatment of the LGBTI community, but a call to action for businesses to actively support and protect the rights of these individuals. They outline practical steps to ensure everyone - regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity - is respected and valued in the workplace. Discussing the importance of these guidelines to our business and colleagues, Bertie Tonks, Chief People Officer of Collinson International, said:

“Becoming a signatory of the UN LGBTI Standards of Conduct for Business reflects our core values and is a testament to our belief that diversity is not only a source of strength and competitive advantage but also a fundamental human right.”

A diverse workforce not only drives innovation but opens new perspectives and enriches our work environment. By endorsing these principles, we affirm our dedication to creating a supportive and inclusive environment for all colleagues, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression - taking a further step towards a more inclusive, equitable, and respectful workplace where everyone can feel safe and empowered.
