  • 🌈 Today we came together for a powerful Pride panel discussion — Pride at AS Watson: Uniting Inclusive Workplaces — where colleagues from across the business shared personal stories on identity, allyship, and inclusion. From the importance of feeling seen at work, to the impact of small everyday actions like sharing pronouns or creating safe spaces, our panellists reminded us that inclusion is built moment by moment. 🏳️🌈 Pride Month may be over, but our commitment is not. We’ll continue to learn, listen, and act to support our LGBTQIA+ communities, every day, all year round. Thank you to our incredible speakers and everyone who joined us.👏🌟 AS Watson Benelux Superdrug The Perfume Shop #PrideAtASWatson #TheFabricOfFreedom #BeRemarkable #InclusiveWorkplaces #LGBTQIAInclusivity #PrideEveryday
