The Pride network aims to lead on lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT+) inclusion for everyone we work with.
The network undertakes a range of initiatives and activities to raise awareness and help us all understand our role in ensuring Sodexo’s working environments are welcoming for all.
As with all our networks, all UK and Ireland employees are welcome to join. The business needs positive allies and visible role models to support LGBT+ inclusion. Please get involved and champion inclusive behaviours.
You can join the Pride network here.
There are also external organisations that the Pride network partner with who provide specialist support in this area.
