About CPP

Company Pride Platform had its beginnings in 2006 when the LGBT employee networks of 4 multinationals cooperated on having the joint theme of "Personal Pride=Company Pride" displayed as banners on their individual boats in the Amsterdam Pride Canal Parade.

The feeling of common purpose and the atmosphere of cooperation during the Pride led to the creation of the Company Pride Platform in 2008. A non-profit foundation based in Amsterdam, the CPP’s Members include the LGBT employee networks of both corporations and governmental organizations. Funding for the CPP comes primarily from yearly fees paid by Members, while in-kind contributions in the form of venues, certain promotional material etc. come from Members as well. The CPP’s Foundation Board, Steering Group and Task Forces members are all volunteers.

CPP has a clear vision for LGBT people in the workplace and in society. To realize this vision, the CPP has identified a number of objectives that are outlined in the Mission Statement and which are realized through a number of activities and services. An overview of these activities and services in 2009 can be found under 'Activities' in the navigation bar.
