• Do not hesitate to consult the community by reaching out to charities, organisations.
• Explore dedicated community platforms to find resources including data and stats.
• Do consider involving members of the community from your company's staff in the conversation.
• Define well your audience and objectives, keeping in mind that the LGBTQ+ community is made of smaller groups, which have different priorities and focus.
• Demonstrate an authentic interest in the community through actions that have a real impact for the community (support for charities, organisations, grants, funding).
