Euronext rings the bell to celebrate diversity and inclusion in capital markets

This week, Euronext proudly participated along with other exchanges in the inaugural ‘Ring the Bell for LGBTIQ+ Equality’ ceremony organised by the Sustainable Stock Exchanges initiative, in collaboration with the UN Global Compact, UN Human Rights (OHCHR), Koppa, the LGBTI+ Economic Power Lab and the Partnership for Global LGBTIQ+ Equality. 

This global event marked the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), and our participation reinforces our commitment to building inclusive markets where all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression are valued and empowered. 

As the leading European capital market infrastructure, Euronext recognises the importance of diversity and inclusivity in driving innovation, resilience and progress.

Building inclusive markets together

Our offices throughout Europe joined other exchanges to take part in a range of meaningful activities to celebrate the first edition of the ‘Ring the Bell for LGBTIQ+ Equality’. Across our locations, we hosted events including opening bell ceremonies and discussed key topics such as fostering inclusive workplaces, advancing equity in capital markets and driving positive change.

This space provided a platform for impactful conversations, underlining the importance of inclusion, awareness of bias and non-tolerance for any form of discrimination. Through our participation to this event, Euronext is proud to reaffirm our commitment to inclusivity in the workplace.
