“As such, we take pride in our stand on human rights and in promoting the rights of LGTBIQ+ people.”
United Nations human rights officer and standards co-author Fabrice Houdart, said the UN was grateful to see Slater and Gordon join more than 260 of the world’s largest companies in expressing support for the United Nations Global LGBTI Standards for Business.
“Businesses have a key role to play in keeping the momentum for LGBTI equality globally and Slater and Gordon’s support is a strong signal to the legal industry and beyond,” Mr Houdart said.
