PRIDE
In June the global LGBTQIA+ community speaks out loudly and proudly, promoting self-affirmation, dignity and equality. All of which are still very much needed. At HUGO BOSS we strongly support marginalized groups seeking to overcome adversity and oppression. We all need to speak louder and take actions to avoid discrimination of any kind. HUGO BOSS believes in the strength of diversity and inclusion. Each unique person enriches our work environment and business. We are committed to using our reach as a company to support the LGBTQIA+ community by joining the call for greater equality.
Proud to speak up
From our collection pieces to our workspace, we strive for more inclusion. As part of our efforts to reach this goal, we have teamed up with ILGA World. The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association is an international organization that connects more than 1,700 groups from over 160 countries and territories worldwide. It supports LGBTI civil society worldwide through advocacy and research projects. Our core brand BOSS is releasing a capsule collection to mark this year’s pride month, created in support of ILGA World. At the same time, ILGA World will support us with a workshop for our employees, building awareness of terms like cisgender, transgender and non-binary and their meanings, helping us to understand how to use inclusive language and pronouns, and how to understand the difference between sex and gender identity. The intent of the workshop is to highlight respect towards people of diverse sexual orientation, gender identities and expressions, and sex characteristics.
The proud voices of HUGO BOSS
Whether inside or outside of HUGO BOSS, together we must tackle issues. We want to see a future where awareness grows, and inequality vanishes. As a global fashion house where different cultures, ethnicities and generations work together It is our duty to join the cause and help in creating more awareness and understanding.
