HSBC CEO named ‘OUTstanding’ LGBTQ+ ally

Friday 19 November 2021

The CEO of HSBC in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man has made the top 20 in the ‘OUTstanding 50 Ally Executives List’ for the fifth year in a row.

The OUTstanding LGBT+ Role Models 2021 recognises business leaders who act as advocates and allies for diversity and inclusion, breaking down barriers and creating more inclusive workplaces across the world.

Sue Fox is the executive sponsor of HSBC Channel Islands and Isle of Man’s ‘Diversity and Inclusion Allies’ group, which works to provide events, training and content aimed at overcoming taboos, providing colleagues with deeper insights, and highlighting both conscious and unconscious bias and discrimination. 

Following the recognition, Sue, who was also recently recognised for a third time in INvolve’s global HERoes Women Role Model list, commented: “Everyone has the right to be able to go to work and feel secure in presenting their true self.

“Diversity of experience, thought and culture not only make our lives richer but also form the basis of good business and I am extremely proud to be recognised as someone who is making strides in nurturing an inclusive workplace and breaking down barriers.”
