The EU stands for inclusion and firmly against all forms of discrimination. Most recently, on the occasion of the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, the European Union reiterated its unswerving commitment to promoting and protecting the rights of LGBTI persons. This also includes promoting LGBTI-friendly policies for business and protecting LGBTI entrepreneurs and employees, in Europe and beyond.
Promoting security and prosperity for millions of European and American citizens also means ensuring these business leaders of tomorrow have equal opportunity to secure investments and attract needed capital today.
