PrideMatters
Pride Matters is Colt's LGBTQ+ and Allies network, aiming to make Colt a more inclusive place for all. Formed in 2019, the team has grown globally and has helped drive the message that Colt is inclusive, no matter how you identify.
"Be proud of who you are and don't let anyone tell you it's wrong to be LGBTQ+. Love is love, let's focus on the bigger picture and support each other"
Mikaela Rego,
Business Partner Marketing Executive
"Colt has always been a place for everyone. Inclusion and diversity, are within our DNA. I feel privileged to work for an organisation that makes sure everyone’s voice is heard and to contribute to driving change through our Pride Matters network."

Pride initiatives
Inclusive family leave
Since launch, the network has helped with policy changes across the business, including the Global Parental Leave policy. By replacing previous traditional maternity and paternity leave with primary and secondary caregiver leave, it recognises same sex parents and families. Find out more here...
Transition at work
Colt has also launched a transition at work policy to support employees who identify as trans to take the time out of work they need, and to support them on their journey as an employee of Colt.
Ally training
Our Pride Matters network collaborates with our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion team to produce an engaging e-learning, "Becoming an LGBTQ+ ally" which has been shared with all employees. The e-learning “How to be an LGBQ+ ally" was released two years ago and since then 800 employees have completed it. The group supplements this learning with webinars and events throughout the year.
