Embracing diversity: Pride flag flies again
This coming weekend (17-19 May) The Hague will be celebrating Pride. In anticipation of this event, the Pride flag has been raised in solidarity today at the EPO offices in The Hague. The iconic Pride flag is a vibrant symbol of the diversity of the LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer) community.
The EPO is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion (D&I) and places great value on ensuring that all employees, including our LGBTQ+ staff, feel valued, embraced and can be themselves in the workplace.
