This year’s Pride theme: The importance of Allyship

In 2021 we introduced “Free To Be Me” to raise awareness towards the importance of feeling safe at work – regardless of any kind of diversity. As we continue our journey, we are pleased to announce this year’s Pride theme, which will focus on the importance of Allyship. An ally can be defined as someone who stands up for the equality of people different than themselves.
