SN Pride is our network for the LGBTQ+ community and allies. Launched in 2018, there are now local representatives in London, the Netherlands, Spain, Argentina, Germany and the USA.
SN Pride aims to help all of its members feel accepted, supported and included by offering guidance to the company, creating resources to support employees at work and at home, organising events and working together with the wider LGBTQ+ community in Science and Education.
SN Pride members have created the LGBTQ+ Basics guide, which aims to provide some of the core information about what it means to be LGBTQ+, and how to be an ally to those in the LGBTQ+ community.
DYLAN, PUBLISHER IN MEDICINE AND LIFE SCIENCES JOURNALS
"I wanted to be part of Springer Nature Pride because I am not only a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, but I am also very proud to work for a company that promotes diversity, inclusiveness and the open sharing of knowledge with the scholarly communities we serve.
While those values might sound unrelated at first, celebrating diversity both inside and outside of Springer Nature comes from a shared desire to be educated, to understand other people and to maintain a constant curiosity about the world around us. I see those values and desires as inherent to our work. They are also embodied by everyone I know involved with the SN Pride network, and across our company as a whole.
Networks like SN Pride give us the space to support each other in succeeding in our common goals at work, but they also provide space to appreciate and celebrate the different perspectives we bring to our jobs and the communities we serve every day."
