The Freedom to Love
leading business leaders call for the freedom to love globally
“It is time for all of us, as business leaders and as human beings, to stand up to ensure that people are free from the fear of abuse for whom they love.” This call from 21 global leaders sends a strong signal that the business community knows that inclusive and diverse societies are good for business and economic growth. Led by Virgin, Open For Business and the B Team, the letter includes signatories such as Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, Paul Polman and Peter Arvai (see the full list below). The letter highlights four things that business leaders can all do immediately to create a more LGBT+ inclusive world, including working with Open For Business to join forces and act collectively.
