Sustainability report 2019-2020 Mexico | 24 b. LGBT Inclusion+ "Thanks to the participation of everyone in the Firm, our LGBT+ inclusion program has become stronger over time, learning and sharing best practices with other organizations, updating our policies and challenging ourselves every day to be more diverse and inclusive fills me with satisfaction and pride". Lorena Gaitán, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager of the Firm At Baker McKenzie Mexico We Are Not Neutral. It is clear to us that diversity strengthens us as an organization. In this way, we openly declare our respect and support for the LGBT+ community. Consequently, we promote a culture of respect by creating inclusive workspaces for all our talent. Policies To guide the actions we implement, we have global policies that reaffirm our position of inclusion and respect for the LGBT+ community; to this end, we are particularly concerned with avoiding discriminatory behavior towards anyone because of their sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. One of the changes we made during the period covered by this report was to strengthen our conviction of inclusiveness through a new family policy. Now, it also considers families that carry out some process of adoption, without leaving aside the benefits related to the arrangements that our collaborators have for paid leaves due to parenthood. Baker Pride + Allies Baker Pride+Allies Internally, during this time, we launched the first business resource group for members of the LGBT+ community and allies. Currently, we have more than 50 members in the five offices, who work to encourage activities that promote spaces for reflection and awareness of the respective topic. Awareness Activities Raising our collaborators' awareness on LGBT+ inclusion is relevant part of our position. In line with this, we organized different activities to commemorate the dates that have represented the LGBT+ movement on a global level. • Webinars and Training Sessions On Pride Month, we held a webinar with Cecilia De la Vega to talk about LGBT+ inclusion in the workplace, the general concepts related to it and the importance of the role of allies. Additionally, we participated in the activities that the Firm carried out on a regional level. These activities included webinars, roundtable sessions, panels, and documentary screenings. The content, in all cases, aimed to raise our talent's awareness about what we are doing in terms of inclusion and the challenges this poses for us. Commemorative Dates We have developed activities during Spirit Day, for which we invite collaborators to wear the color purple on their clothing as a sign of solidarity with LGBT+ youth, who are recurrent targets of harassment and violence due to their sexual orientation. We also organized dynamics during the International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), with the purpose of positively reinforcing such concepts through reflection. #Spirit Day #Spirit Day 18 de octubre 2018 #Spirit Day 18 de octubre 2018
