PROUT AT WORK

The PROUT AT WORK Foundation is a German non-profit foundation under civil law based in Munich, founded in 2013 by co-founders Albert Kehrer and Jean-Luc Vey, and supported by eight large companies. The foundation is dedicated to promoting equal opportunities for LGBT*IQ individuals in the workplace and combating homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, and interphobia in the work environment.

The main goal of PROUT AT WORK is to create a discrimination-free and open work environment where sexual orientation, gender identity, characteristics, and gender expression play a positive role. The foundation is committed to overcoming discrimination and promoting equal opportunities for LGBT*IQ people to create an inclusive and diverse work environment[2][5].
