As a member of Kantar’s Executive I&D Board, which sets strategy, standards, and policies for all intersections of DEI, Caroline is proud to be the Global Executive Sponsor and ally of Kantar’s Pride@Kantar Employee Resource Group – working to create a safe community for all LGBTQ+ employees across the globe. She brings the group’s priorities to Exco meetings to ensure Kantar is as genuinely inclusive as possible and encourages all Kantar employees to show explicit support and allyship for LGBTQ+ colleagues. Caroline also plays an instrumental role in creating, supporting, and funding a more inclusive world for the LGBTQ+ community externally through a number of initiatives including validating through Kantar’s award-winning Inclusion Index how ~50% of LGBTQ+ employees admit to suffering from high stress, anxiety, and mental health problems, and ~40% feel left out at work and experience or observe discrimination in their company. She also actively creates important partnerships and collaborations with other purposeful entities, including championing the CEO pledge and industry manifesto for inclusion and opportunity with The Market Research Society (MRS), and supporting DIVA Media and Stonewall shine a more authentic spotlight on how to better support LGBT+ women in the UK during Lesbian Visibility week.
