We are thrilled to introduce the first part of the 2024 Out Leadership Global Impact Report, a comprehensive resource that highlights the critical work being done to advance LGBTQ+ equality through the power of business. At a time when diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts face increasing scrutiny and rollback, this report reaffirms why our collective efforts are more essential than ever—not only for the LGBTQ+ community but for the broader global business landscape.
In the first half of 2024, Out Leadership convened over 1,500 leaders from more than 165 organizations across five continents, hosting global summits in New York, London, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. These summits were not just forums for discussion; they were incubators for action, empowering leaders to make a lasting impact on their organizations, colleagues, and communities.
The Global Impact Report details key initiatives, including our Board Diversity and Self-ID programs, which are instrumental in advancing inclusion and ensuring that organizations remain competitive in today’s rapidly changing business environment. These initiatives are driving measurable change, enhancing employee engagement, fostering talent development, and refining global business practices.
As you explore the report, you'll see how Out Leadership is making a difference worldwide and how your organization can sustain and build upon this momentum. The report offers practical strategies and insights that align with the current climate, ensuring that your inclusion efforts are both impactful and enduring.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to driving LGBTQ+ inclusion in the business world. Together, we are creating a more equitable and inclusive future.
