Linklaters is delighted to be recognised as one of the leading employers in Community Business’ 2023 Hong Kong LGBT+ Inclusion Index. Linklaters is ranked as the no. 2 employer in the Top 10 Employers list and has once again achieved Gold Standard in this year’s Index, alongside eight other leading organisations from the financial services and legal services sectors. In addition, the firm is named as the no. 1 employer within the legal industry on the Index.
Linklaters partner Marcus Pollard commented,
“We are thrilled to have consistently achieved high rankings in the Hong Kong LGBT+ Inclusion Index. These rankings are a testament not just to Linklaters’ commitment to creating an inclusive workplace, but also to how the legal industry is collectively working towards advancing LGBT+ inclusion in Hong Kong. As we celebrate Pride Month, this is a timely reminder of the importance of allyship and creating a safe environment for all, extending well beyond the celebrations and symbols.”
The 2023 LGBT+ Inclusion Index is Asia’s first multi-market benchmark on corporate policies and practices for creating inclusive workplaces for LGBT+ employees. This year, 34 organisations participated in the Hong Kong Index. They represent multiple industries including financial services, hospitality, pharmaceutical, technology, legal, media, properties and real estate, as well as the third sector.
