The IGLCC is an increasingly important lesbian and gay organization.

They are currently inviting business from around the globe to take part in their inaugural International Business Equality Index.

The index sets its sights high in trying to figure out which is the most gay friendly business in the world.

The Index is a unique tool allowing corporations to draw external comparisons, which illustrate how their competitors are doing as well as internal comparisons that provide a better understanding of their own performance.

The deadline for completion of the survey online is April 30th 2009 with the results being announced during the International Conference on LGBT Human Rights held during the World Outgames in Copenhagen from July 25th to August 2nd, 2009.

"The International Business Equality Index is without a doubt one of the most important initiatives ever launched at the international level to advance LGBT diversity in the business world," says the Secretary General of the IGLCC, Pascal Lépine.

"It gives a concrete sign that a corporation supports the LGBT community by its dedication and commitment and provides vital access to our ever expanding market segment."

Out Now believes strongly in the important work that IGLCC is embarking upon, and encourages all international business to get involved.

Gays and lesbians in your workplace - and your gay customers - will thank you for it.

The International Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (IGLCC) was founded in 2006 in Hamburg, Germany and is based in Montréal, Canada. The IGLCC is the world’s leading international LGBT business network.
