Today is Coming Out Day. 🌈💙 Coming out is a deeply personal and courageous journey, and it’s different for everyone. For some, it’s a joyful celebration of self; for others, it might be a more complex path. In many parts of the world, it’s still a challenge. Everyone has the right to decide if, when, how, and with whom they share their identity. Today, we honor everyone on their unique journey and recognize the importance of being an #ally. At dsm-firmenich, we are committed to fostering an environment where everyone can feel safe, respected, and free to be themselves. Being an #ally means more than showing support – it’s about continuous learning, standing up against discrimination, and amplifying LGBTIQ+ voices. Take a moment to reflect on how you can be a thoughtful ally. Whether it’s through education, challenging biases, or simply being there to listen, every action matters. 🤝Want to get involved? All our colleagues are invited to join one of our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and be part of a community committed to building a more inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive. Because when we stand together, we make progress possible for everyone.   #ComingOutDay #WeBringProgressToLife #InclusionMatters #ProudAlly

Here’s how you can make a great start. ⬇️ Link to our NATTC Ltd blog post in the comments! #DisabilityAtWork #Inclusion #Blog

What does inclusion mean to you, and how can we all contribute to creating it? #share #InclusionMatters #Neurodiversity #DiversityAndInclusion #AutismAwareness #LeadershipForAll #InclusiveLeadership #DisabilityInclusion #Empowerment #EquityAndInclusion #NeurodivergentVoices #InclusiveWorkplace #RepresentationMatters #WorkplaceInclusion #AutisticVoices #EqualityForAll

Let's have a chat about something really important: inclusion in education. Imagine a environment where every student, regardless of their background or abilities, feels like they belong. That's what inclusion is all about—it's about creating a space where everyone's differences are not just accepted but celebrated. When we prioritise inclusion, we're not just helping students excel academically. We're also fostering a sense of belonging, empathy, and understanding among them. It's about creating a community where every individual feels seen, heard, and valued. So let's break down those barriers and embrace diversity in education. #InclusionMatters #EducationForAll
