Stonewall celebrates best multi-national employers for the LGBTQ+ community and has named Colt as a Top Global Employer .

“Creating an inclusive workplace is woven into our DNA, and the Top Global Employer award from Stonewall showcases what Inclusion and Diversity mean for us at Colt. Making sure that all our people feel a sense of belonging and inclusion is a top priority, and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved so far," said Colt CEO, Keri Gilder.

Creating an inclusive workplace

Stonewall’s Top Global Employers list is based on the LGBTQ+ charity’s Global Workplace Equality Index, a benchmarking tool which helps employers create more inclusive workplaces across their markets. The Global Index empowers organizations to navigate the challenges of upholding inclusive values globally and make progress towards LGBTQ+ equality, wherever they operate.

The best-performing employers receive Top Global Employer awards to recognize and celebrate their progress.

Colt is named a Top Global Employer out of 26 companies and given a Bronze award by Stonewall for its commitment to the inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer people globally in the workplace.
