“Lloyds Banking Group is committed to ensuring that our workforce reflects the diversity of our customer base and ensuring an inclusive environment for our customers, colleagues and communities, one that is truly representative of modern-day Britain.

We are proud to be acknowledged as a leading employer when it comes to LGBTQ equality, priding ourselves in having an inclusive and open environment where diversity is celebrated. We are committed to ensuring our LGBTQ colleagues feel included and can bring their whole selves to work.

Our LGBTQ colleague network, Rainbow, plays a pivotal role in our approach. For over 10 years, and with around 5,000 members, Rainbow has been committed to connecting, developing and supporting our LGBTQ colleagues across the Group.

We’re working hard to support our LGBTQ customers and continue to focus on ensuring our Transgender and non-binary customers feel welcomed and included.
