What is LGBT Great's Top 100 Executive Allies?
The Top 100 Executive Allies is a Project 1000 initiative. The programme seeks to recognise and celebrate senior leaders in financial services and business around the world, who have used their platform, influence, and role, to ally and sponsor Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI).
Why is LGBT Great driving this important initiative?
Allies help to create and build environments where talent from all backgrounds feel supported and empowered. Our ambition is to encourage more authentic and deliberate acts of allyship and sponsorship towards DEI everywhere. The visibility of supportive leaders and organisations, who champion DEI, has a lasting and real-world impact.
