LGBT diversity and inclusion is increasingly becoming a business priority. 87 percent of
Fortune 500 companies now have non-discrimination policies based on sexual orientation.
And for the first time ever, the issue made it to the agenda of the World Economic Forum in
Davos, a gauge for what’s top of mind for global business leaders. Perhaps the biggest
seismic shift comes with millennials, who have great expectations for diversity and are
pushing companies to embrace inclusion much more than previous generations did.
While 2016 has seen some important strides in the fight against discrimination against LGBT
people around the world, setbacks have shed light on how much still needs to change.
LGBT communities continue to be targeted by authorities, with high-profile incidents taking
place in Indonesia, Uganda, Turkey and Egypt, to name a few. In the West, a rise in illiberal
populism has put the economic case for diversity under fire. Given the economic and
political outlook for the next few years, can business play a larger role in moving the mark on
LGBT rights?
Last March at the inaugural Pride and Prejudice Summit, The Economist convened chief
executives, politicians, sports stars and activists to discuss the business case for diversity and
inclusion. We examined the outlook for LGBT rights around the world and analysed why
inclusion is good for the economy and the firms that embrace it. This year, the Summit will
once again take place as a 24-hour global event spanning Hong Kong, London and New
York. We will look beyond the business case for LGBT inclusion and examine how companies
can be catalysts for change.
How are new generations changing the meaning of diversity and forcing companies to
rethink their inclusion policies? What can advocates for LGBT inclusion learn from other
groups that have been marginalised? What can we learn from case studies of businesses
operating in parts of the world where cultures or laws are hostile towards LGBT people?
Chaired by Economist Editors, Pride and Prejudice 2017, will tackle the tough issues pertinent
to each region as we bring to life on stage the ongoing debate about businesses’ role in the
global fight for improving LGBT rights.
