PRIDE Index – METRO AG amongst Top 10

METRO is in the top 10 for the German PRIDE Index 2021 by the UHLALA Group, among the 150 companies that applied. This recognition is a testament to METRO's commitment to their lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ+) employees. METRO is an inclusive company and is honored to receive this recognition.

• LGBTIQ+ Diversity Performance Index published in December for the first time
• METRO amongst TOP 10 – 150 companies took part
• LGBTIQ+ Engagement was rated through 75 questions in 4 categories

METRO's commitment to the LGBTIQ+ community and its strong focus on diversity issues within the company were recognized. METRO AG already received the PRIDE Champion Gold Employer Seal in September this year. The PRIDE Index ranking honors METRO once again. The index, awarded by the UHLALA Group, one of the leading LGBTIQ+ social enterprises, acknowledges the open and appreciative corporate culture in which homophobia and transphobia have no place.

“LGBTIQ+ diversity is part of the DNA in our corporate culture, making us as colorful and diverse as our customers. We are proud to be rated amongst the top 10 employers in the PRIDE Index, after having been awarded the PRIDE Champion Employer Seal in Gold. Openness, appreciation, room for personal development, and commitment to the community, for example, when it comes to blood donation – this distinguishes us and makes us an attractive employer,” says Sven Liebert, Head of Public Policy Germany, and ambassador of the METRO PRIDE network.
