🌹❤ Love is in the air .....! 🎵🎶🌬❤ Happy Valentine's, but also Equal Pay Day! 🥳🙌👏❤🌐 The oikos Graz Team wishes you a wonderful time with your loved ones. 🥰🤗 Today we shared a special photo from us. It was from our last hike at Schöckl in December 2023. 🗓🥾⛰🖼❄ This picture also represents the awesome time we spend together. 📸👥🌟💖 Let's celebrate all kinds of love, not only romantic love! 🎉💕 We want to spread gratitude and love to our whole community, including our followers. 💖 🌿💡Here are some sustainable date ideas, no matter what day of the year it is: 1️⃣ Avoid Meat at Dinner 🌱 We already know that meat consumption has a negative impact on the environment and reducing meat consumption can be beneficial for you and the planet. Maybe you could opt for a delicious vegan or veggie meal at dinner on your next date. 2️⃣ Spending time in Nature 🏞 If you'd like to enjoy a day away from stress, you could spend your time with your loved ones outside in nature, no matter whether in the park, a forest, or in the mountains. 3️⃣ Volunteering together 🤝 You can spread your love even further by doing something good for society. For example, you could volunteer at a clean-up action or in a sustainable organization. Last, but not least, we want to remind you that today is not only Valentine's Day but also Equal Pay Day (EPD). 🙌👏👏👏 This is an international day of action that advocates for equal pay between women and men and draws attention to the gender pay gap. 💪🌐👥🌍 #Valentinesday #EqualPayDay #oikos #graz #oikosgraz #oikosworld #celebratinglove #gratitude #sustainabledates #naturetime #sustainability #sustainabledevelopment #sdgs #sdg5 #genderequality #sdg10 #reducedinequalities #closethepaygap #raisingawareness #climatechangesolutions #climateaction #sustainabilityaction #positiveimpact #empoweringchange #sustainablefuture #beinformed #getinvolved #makeadifference #ChangersNotManagers

The right to love who you love❤️And the right to be who you are❤️ I was so proud yesterday of walking in the pride parade with my colleagues through the streets of Copenhagen celebrating love and diversity. I was walking besides the courageous people who everyday experience exclusion on different levels and in different situations. They where in the parade, by the road and sitting in the windows celebrating diversity and love. I brought my own daughter and saw children and teenagers of all ages watching and cheering. I hope they will experience an even more inclusive society and be more inclusive themselves in the way they behave, think and talk. At Novo Nordisk we work to be a more inclusive and diverse company. An inclusive and diverse working environment creates great results, it fosters better and more innovative ideas and it is just more fun. We challenge our own and others unconscious bias to get there, and what seems like a small change can have a huge impact every day and therefore we continue. It is not easy and it is a long journey driven by passionate colleagues. But as a large company it is our responsibility to support and be part of driving change towards a more inclusive society. In Copenhagen we can celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community, but this is by far not a global right. It is heartbreaking hearing and reading of the inequality in gender and sexual orientation which are still prevailing. And therefore our daily actions, raising the LGBTQIA+ flag and the celebration of pride are as important as ever. #pride2023 #equality #diversityandinclusion #drivingchangetogether #novonordisk

It was a great honor to be asked to share some thoughts about Pride, coming out, and what great allyship looks like during my keynote address for EssilorLuxottica, the world’s largest eyewear company.” As we celebrate Pride Month, it’s important for leaders to understand the significance of communicating with the LGBTQ+ community, which makes up 3.5% of the global population and represents a market worth approximately $3.7 trillion. Leaders should consider that employees who hide their identities at work can lose up to 10% of their productivity. My own experience as a closeted news reporter in the 1980s showed me how consuming this fear can be. Empathy goes beyond superficial gestures; it requires understanding and respect for each individual’s unique journey. Avoid making assumptions or using insensitive language. Effective allyship involves being vulnerable, using inclusive language, and genuinely listening to LGBTQ+ colleagues. By fostering an environment where everyone can be their authentic selves, we can improve workplace productivity and create a more inclusive and supportive culture for all. Everybody deserves to be treated how you want to be treated. Be confident that if you treat someone as a human being they’ll respond to you as one.

#TheMorningInclusive 🎉 Celebrating 46 Years of Flavorful Impact! 🍦🎂 On this day in 1978, two childhood friends, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, embarked on a sweet adventure that would change the ice cream game forever. Ben & Jerry’s Homemade wasn’t just about scooping up delicious ice cream; it was about creating a community, a place where everyone could belong. Their ice cream wasn’t just a treat; it was a flavor-packed invitation to join the party! How did they do it? Flavor Fusion: Ben & Jerry’s concocted flavors that danced on your taste buds. From Cherry Garcia to Phish Food, each pint was a symphony of yumminess. Chunky Goodness: They didn’t just sprinkle in chocolate chips; they threw in whole chunks!  Whether it was cookie dough or fudge brownies, every spoonful was an adventure. Social Scoop: But wait, there’s more! Ben & Jerry’s wasn’t just about scoops; it was about social justice.  They championed causes like racial equity, climate justice, and LGBTQ+ rights. Justice Remix’d: Their limited-edition flavor, Justice Remix’d, wasn’t just a swirl of caramel and fudge; it was a call to action!  Proceeds went to criminal justice reform, making every bite count. Change the Whirled: And who can forget Colin Kaepernick’s Change the Whirled?  A flavor that not only tasted amazing but also supported Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights Camp. Ben & Jerry’s didn’t just scoop ice cream; they scooped up change.  They proved that business could be a force for good, that every spoonful could make a difference. How? By: Staying True to the Mission: When Unilever acquired Ben & Jerry’s in 2000, many wondered if the company’s social missions would survive. But to everyone’s surprise, they did. Unilever recognized the value of the brand and set up an independent board of directors responsible for overseeing the social mission, brand integrity, and policies. This governance structure ensured that Ben & Jerry’s commitment to social justice remained intact. Dismantling White Supremacy: In the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the Black Lives Matter protests, Ben & Jerry’s issued a powerful statement: “We Must Dismantle White Supremacy.” They didn’t shy away from taking a stand, even when the topic was highly politicized. Their commitment to multi-issue corporate activism was unwavering. Racial Justice Work: Over the last five years, Ben & Jerry’s has actively engaged in racial justice initiatives. They’ve used their corporate voice to advocate for progressive change, addressing systemic racism and inequality. It’s not just about ice cream; it’s about making a difference in the world. So, here’s to Ben, Jerry, and all the chunk-loving, justice-seeking ice cream enthusiasts out there! Let’s keep scooping up a world where everyone belongs. 🌍❤️ #BenAndJerrys #IceCreamRevolution #ScoopOfChange #BelongingMatters #Belonging = #Inclusion * (#Diversity + #Equity) ^ #Accessibility NOTE: The image was created with Copilot to summarize this post

Return on Investment vs Impact of Inaction… 🤔💡 Not only can DIBEC initiatives make your organisation a significant amount of money…  DIBEC initiatives can also save your organisation a significant amount of money. Here’s why👇 👉In 2013, Barilla Group Guido Barilla made a homophobic comment regarding his company’s advertisements. As well as missing out on the annual $800B purchasing power of the LGBTQ+ community, a global boycott campaign was launched in response to the comments, with shoppers, restaurateurs, and delis refusing to buy the brand. 👉 Last year, high-end gym franchise Equinox was faced with a lawsuit from Black female employee, claiming that she was subjected to a hostile working environment, discriminated against, and eventually fired on the basis of her race and gender. She won the case, with Equinox ordered to pay her $11.25 million in damages. 👉 In 2018, DOLCE&GABBANA released an advertisement aimed at their Chinese market, featuring a Chinese model attempting to eat classic Italian foods with a pair of chopsticks. The joke didn’t land - and lost them 98% of their market in that region. It happens time and time again – there is a high profile incident, something is leaked to the press, and the company scrabbles to fix the damage, often spending thousands, if not millions on brand reputation management and legal fees. When the reality is that literally every single one of the above incidents could have been prevented with a cohesive DIBEC strategy 🤷

Corporations can't just show up for the parades. We need genuine allies who are committed to being an accomplice in our collective liberation. It's great to see Pride London take a stance against rainbow washing. Queer people need genuine allies, not just clever marketing campaigns. Pride in London is one of the U.K’s largest LGBTQ2s+ festivals, attracting 1.5 million people to the city each June with 30,000 participating in the parade itself. But in 2024, brands will have to walk the walk at a corporate level if they want to march the march. In a bid to weed out rainbow washing or pink washing—the practice of using the LGBTQ2s+ community to boost PR and sales without demonstrating meaningful allyship—the nonprofit is requesting advertisers that want to join the celebration to engage with related causes year-round and take real action to foster inclusion in their workplaces. Organizers have launched Pride in the City, a 356-day partner program for brands that want to join the capital’s vibrant yearly procession. If sponsors commit just over $8,500 (7,000 pounds), they will reserve a spot in the flotilla while also receiving training on topics including how to make trans and nonbinary colleagues feel more welcome in the office, and on creating an inclusive workplace for LGBTQ2s+ employees.

✨ Happy International Women's Day ✨ Yesterday I reflected on my own journey and expressed gratitude to the women that have helped shaped my professional journey to date. This year's theme for IWD is looking at how we invest in women so today I'm going to celebrate how my organisation, LUSH, has invested in me and other women throughout the business. 🔠 The business doesn't recruit with grades and degrees in mind. When joining Lush and working through a variety of roles, not once was I was what GCSE results I had or university degree. The door is open to everyone! 🚪 Opportunity hangs in the air. Opportunities are around every corner at Lush and gender doesn't play a part. I'm very proud to be part of an all female UK&I Retail senior leadership team and if I do say so myself, we rock! 95% of our shop managers are female and 70% of the team that leads them are female. 👨👩👦👦 The business offers enhanced parental leave of 6 months full pay. This is then followed up with financial childcare support to support with these costs before your child enters school age. Arguably most important, the emotional support is given alongside the financial. 🤝 Flexible working is offered and supported. Whilst not only applicable to women, we know that the pressures of the mental load largely falls with women and so colleagues at Lush have options available to them. 👭 Community networks. At Lush our staff members can join community networks, these include family and carers communities as well as a community for those going through the menopause. To the businesses that support and lift women up, thank you! To those that could be doing more, let's talk! #internationalwomensday2024 #investinwomen #inspireinclusion #IWD24
