Pride is more than a celebration - it's part of who we are.

This Pride Month, FCM leaders from across the globe share what Pride means to them, how our culture empowers LGBTQ+ employees, and the moments that make them truly proud to be part of FCM. Because when everyone’s voice is heard, we all move forward together. 

At FCM, we encourage everyone to let their true colours shine. For this year’s Pride month, we want to feature relevant resources, stories, and statistics that illustrate how to support the continued protection, elevation, and empowerment of LGBTQ+ business travellers and employees.

FCM is a global company that services business travellers from all walks of life, gender identities, and sexual orientations. We believe it is our responsibility as a global player in the corporate travel industry to be a conduit for these crucial conversations, and we hope you’ll join us in this important dialogue not only this month, but for years to come.

Happy Pride!

DEI White Paper

Creating an inclusive workplace requires more than hiring from a diverse candidate pool. It’s proactively looking for opportunities for inclusion, promoting them, and implementing them in your day-to-day operations. That includes your corporate travel policy as well.
