Pride@PlayStation
Pride@PlayStation, our LGBT+ Employee Resource Group, has gone from strength to strength since it was established in 2016. The group, which is part of our internal Diversity Network, aims to champion LGBT+ rights and inclusivity both within PlayStation and externally.
Internally, Pride@PlayStation organises regular events, forums, and socials for our LGBT+ employees and allies. Our members also consult with various departments to make sure our company policies and procedures are as LGBT+-friendly as possible.
The group plays an active role in the wider community, too.
Pride@Playstation partners with Sink the Pink each year for Pride in London, has worked with Out In Tech to host a cross-gaming industry panel about representation in gaming and collaborated with our PlayStation Gear store to sell PlayStation Pride merchandise to consumers, with all proceeds going to LGBT+ homeless youth charity AKT.
In 2019 Pride@PlayStation was shortlisted in the British LGBT Awards as a Top 10 Employee Network. The group also won Pride in London’s Best Float award in 2018 for “best celebrating LGBTQ+ life, fights for equality, challenges prejudice and had the most creative, interactive and fun float on parade day”.
Pride@PlayStation are proud to stand up and show that PlayStation is #ForALLthePlayers.
