As Pride Month continues, companies worldwide are showing support for the LGBTQ+ community with rainbow logos and statements of allyship. However, it’s important for businesses to understand that Pride goes beyond these temporary displays. True support requires action, commitment, and an understanding of LGBTQ+ Issues.

This year let’s celebrate Pride Month with authentic allyship, ensuring that equality, diversity, and inclusion are guiding principles.
