This interview series is a paid partnership with PwC Luxembourg.

Pedro and Ludivine from PwC Luxembourg talk about workplace inclusivity as part of this week's PwC People Pulse. They join us to discuss 'Shine', PwC’s LGBTQIA+ affinity network, and 'Walk the Talk' an initiative aimed at fostering real action in corporate allyship.

Pedro, a deputy leader of 'Shine', and Ludivine, a 'Shine' member, share their personal journeys and explain how 'Shine' supports LGBTQIA+ employees and allies. From networking events and educational workshops to company-wide initiatives, they say that the network plays a key role in making workplaces more inclusive and welcoming.

Beyond PwC, 'Walk the Talk' brings together over 30 companies in Luxembourg committed to LGBTQIA+ inclusion. The upcoming Walk the Talk event, happening on March 25th, focuses on "Family at Heart" and will feature a keynote speech by MEP Marc Angel, a panel discussion on rainbow families in the workplace, and a networking cocktail with live entertainment.

The discussion also covers the role of allies in creating a supportive work environment, the importance of taking real action beyond symbolic gestures, and the risks of "rainbow-washing" in corporate culture.
