The wind energy giant Ørsted has announced it’s an official partner for the summer pride celebration, Copenhagen 2021.

“The partnership is a natural extension of our strong focus on inclusion and diversity in the workplace,” said Mette Nørr Gantzhorn, head of diversity, inclusion and well-being at Ørsted.

Copenhagen 2021 – WorldPride and EuroGames will take place in Copenhagen and Malmö from 12-21 August.

Celebrating inclusiveness
The event includes EuroGames contests in 29 sports, an arts festival and the largest human rights forum for LGBTQ + issues to date.

Alice Vallienne, a business developer in innovation for Ørsted’s LGBTQ + & Allies’ network, hailed the initiative.

“As an employee and representative of the LGBTQ + community, I think it’s great that Ørsted places so much emphasis on creating an inclusive culture in the workplace – everyone collaborates on the common goal of diversity,” she said.
