At FCM, we encourage everyone to let their true colors 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 2SLGBTQIA+ 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!

"Strategies to include and uplift LGBTQ2+ people in the workplace have never felt more important. While there is so much out of our control, employers need to support LGBTQ2+ employees both in the office and on the road. Sponsoring the LGBTQ2+ ERG at FCTG is a privilege, and I'm proud of all the work Daniel and the rest of the members have done."
