A celebration of the LGBT+ community, allies, and change.
The LGBT+ Diamonds Awards is an unique event aimed at thanking and appreciating those who are actively working to create a friendly and respectful work environment for LGBT+ people in Poland. It is a platform that unites the forces of responsible business, activists, and non-governmental organizations. At its core are the people and their authentic commitment to building a culture based on equality and mutual understanding.

There is one goal: to support change
For years, Poland has ranked low in the Rainbow Europe ranking, which assesses the level of equal rights for LGBT+ people. The competition was created in 2018 as a grassroots initiative in response to this challenge. Its mission is:
-
Appreciating and rewarding the community and all allies whose example inspires others to act.
-
Building a broad community of people and organizations for whom human rights and dignity are fundamental values.
-
Promoting the idea that inclusivity, openness, and diversity are universal values that enrich the entire society.
-
Inspiring the creation of inclusive workplaces - we recognize initiatives that serve as a model for building an open and safe organizational culture.
The 7th LGBT+ Diamonds Awards will return in spring 2026!

LGBT+ Workplace Barometer Report
In the 7th edition of the event, we're introducing a new pillar – the LGBT+ Workplace Barometer Report. This research project aims to assess the mood, challenges, and needs of the LGBT+ community in Polish companies and identify best practices in the area of DEI. The report will serve as a practical guide for companies, helping them develop activities for the LGBT+ community. It will be launched during the conference accompanying the gala.
