Herman is working to revolutionise the Central American workplace by promoting equal treatment of LGBT+ individuals. He founded the first and only law firm in Latin America that has the express purpose of eradicating LGBT+ discrimination, and he actively collaborates with companies such as Walmart and Nike on events promoting the importance of LGBT+ workplace diversity. He was the first ever Central American gay man to speak at the Chambers & Partners Diversity Programme, and the first Latin American gay man to be part of the Chambers Diversity blog. Externally, Herman is a vocal advocate for Equal Marriage in El Salvador, and is in the process of organising the first Equal Marriage congress for the continent, in Costa Rica. He has been involved with the InterAmerican Court of Human Rights, working to denounce hate crimes against LGBT+ people in the region, and raise public opinion and support on the topic of marriage equality and gender recognition. This work has included a number of pro-bono legal cases for same sex couples. He has also set up a strategic alliance with White Fox Consulting, resulting in an inclusion and equality index in the Central American region to promote diversity and inclusion in corporations. HDUARTE-LEX is also creating the first Impact Investment for Equality Fund of America.
