LGBTQ+ Representation Targets in 2025
Who’s Leading with Transparency
Windō’s Diversity Reporting Barometer has identified eight companies that have publicly set clear LGBTQ+ representation targets in 2025. These goals span not only the overall workforce but also specific organisational levels—including Partners, Executives, and Senior Leaders. Scotiabank and ITV are both aiming for 7% LGBTQ+ representation company-wide, while CIBC stands out for setting two new targets in 2025—the only company among 280+ analysed across 11 countries to do so.

Global Recognition
The Most Awarded Companies for LGBTQ+ Inclusion
Being vocal about LGBTQ+ inclusion is one thing—being recognised for meaningful, measurable impact is another. Windō analysed 280 corporate reports released this year and tracked 12 of the most reputable LGBTQ+ workplace indices globally. These companies stand out for consistently earning awards and recognition across North America, Europe, and Asia. From SAP to Accenture and PwC, these employers are not only setting standards internally—they’re meeting them in the eyes of the world.
Engaged and Included?
What LGBTQ+ Employee Scores Reveal
It’s one thing to count how many LGBTQ+ employees you have. It’s another to show how engaged they feel. These four companies go beyond surface-level metrics by publishing engagement scores broken down by LGBTQ+ identity—including LGB+ and Transgender data where available. Notably, at HSBC, both groups report higher engagement than the company average—an encouraging sign of inclusion that’s being felt, not just promised.
What’s Coming Next in Pride Month 2025
In the coming weeks, Windō will spotlight companies recognised across global LGBTQ+ workplace indices, those sharing inclusive engagement scores, and organisations showing the strongest progress in LGBTQ+ workforce growth. We’ll also reveal how leading brands’ Pride campaigns measure up to their internal commitments—offering a deeper, data-backed look at which employers are truly walking the talk.
