Description

The Global Leader Network Award 2026 honors established queer corporate networks in large and medium-sized companies that are committed to equal opportunities across national borders. Supported nationwide, the award specifically targets networks with a pronounced global strategy in the areas of commitment to social cohesion/democracy as well as work & social affairs. Networks that have been active for at least one year, work strategically on diversity & inclusion in the workplace, and demonstrate an international reach will be recognized. With this award, the PrOut@Work Foundation sends a strong signal of visibility and recognition for people who give voice and weight to the concerns of queer employees.

Evaluation is based on the criteria of globally oriented strategy, teamwork and sustainability, and commitment to queer equal opportunities. Applications must include a completed application form and optionally additional files (png, jpg, jpeg, pdf; max. 5 MB). The deadline is July 5, 2026. Interested corporate networks can submit their documents by then to become part of a prestigious award and highlight their international diversity best practices.
