CHAPTER 3 / LGBTIQA+ INCLUSION IN BUSINESS AND TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS ODYSSEY FOR EQUALITY /
Chapter 3 LGBTIQA+ Inclusion in Business and Technical Innovations
LGBTIQA+ inclusion and business innovation
Today, companies need to constantly explore new markets, develop new products, and reinvent their business models. On one hand, LGBTIQA+ inclusion has proven to be a lever of business innovation. This is already obvious in fashion, food, entertainment, and tourist industries. This trend is still emerging in other industries and in the global view, but increasingly companies are beginning to integrate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the review of their business models and making it a prerequisite of their innovations. On the other hand, LGBTIQA+ inclusion’s durability depends on its capacity to create value. LGBTIQA+ inclusion will only be sustainable if it is fully integrated into the business model of a company and contributes effectively to the value creation. This is demonstrated by the decarbonization and environmental protection movements in the companies.
