Open for Business initiative promotes positive business & economic case for equality
Open For Business is a coalition of global companies making the case that inclusive, diverse societies are better for business and better for economic growth. The purpose of the coalition is to promote a positive business and economic case for equality of opportunity for everyone, all across the world.
Open For Business is a response by a number of leading global businesses to the spread of anti-LGB&T sentiment in many parts of the world. It is not a formal organisation, but a coalition of companies supporting LGB&T inclusion [refers to Accenture, Brunswick, IBM, MasterCard, Standard Chartered, American Express, Burberry, Inditex, McKinsey & Company, TESCO, AT&T, EY, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Thomson Reuters, Barclays, Google, Linklaters, RBS, Virgin].
