PwC is a proud supporter of the LGBT+ community

“I’m proud that at PwC, everyone is valued, regardless of sexuality, race, gender, religion or ability. This speaks to our core values and the behaviours we expect of our people. We don’t tolerate discrimination on any grounds and actively value the differences of our people.” Dion Shango, PwC Africa CEO

At PwC, we’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can be themselves, including our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) people. From sponsoring pride parades around the world, to adding respect for sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression into our Global Code of Conduct, to issuing a Global Human Rights statement, there are many examples of PwC’s commitment to LGBT+ inclusion around the world. Supporting LGBT+ inclusion isn’t just the right thing to do. An inclusive workplace enables us to embrace the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of all our people to create better outcomes for clients and society.
