Linklaters awarded Diversity & Inclusion in Asia Intersectionality Award by Community Business

Linklaters has been named the winner of the Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) in Asia Intersectionality Award, at the 2022 Community Business Awards – a leading not-for-profit organisation advancing responsible and inclusive business practices in Asia. 

This award recognises Linklaters’ holistic and intersectional approach to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace in Asia. It is also a reflection of the firm’s sustained commitment to placing D&I at the heart of its values. 

Linklaters emphasises that everyone is unique and people do not fit neatly into diversity boxes. The firm has introduced various initiatives and programmes that approach D&I holistically by focussing on authenticity, respect, psychological safety, belonging and equity including an annual celebration of Diversity Week. Diversity Week is one of the key initiatives aiming to bring D&I into the spotlight to ensure it remains front of mind for everyone in the firm. Activities include awareness raising sessions, training, story sharing and celebrations of diversity – all with the aim of fostering a safe and supportive environment in the workplace and encouraging respectful conversations that are unique to each individual.

Linklaters strives to create an inclusive culture in which everyone, regardless of background, identity and circumstance, can reach their full potential and thrive.
