Saturday 1st July marked PRIDE in London, with 35,000 people marching together to support the LGBTQIA+ community ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ 70 employees from Veolia took part in this year's march and showcased the Veolia Marches Together campaign for Pride 2023. Colourful shoe prints created by our people were displayed in a vibrant pattern on our vehicles to symbolise the diversity and unity of Pride. After the parade, crews from our partnership with City of Westminster took to the streets of London to ensure they were clean and that litter was disposed of sustainably. By supporting the LGBTQIA+ community in this way, we are demonstrating our commitment to equal opportunities for all, and our Veolia value of respect ๐ณโ๐

This day included plenty of good food, engaging activities and opportunities to connect with each other. ๐คฉ
