UK Parliament Looks at Business & Religious Freedom

6 Jul, 2023

Faith-friendly workplaces share their stories at Westminster Palace

On Monday, 10th July, executives from Google, Salesforce, NHS, Rolls-Royce, American Express, Baringa, Thames Water, NATS, OVO Energy, etc. will share with the UK Parliament’s APPG on Freedom of Religion or Belief (FORB) how they build FORB for all through their faith-friendly workplaces. They will also discuss how this can and does have an impact on the communities they serve.

The Religious Freedom & Business Foundation helps many of these companies to transparently benchmark their faith-friendly workplace progress through the Corporate Religious Equity, Diversity &Inclusion (REDI) Index.

UK companies participating in the REDI Index will be honored at the event.

The chair of the event is Baroness Verma, a member of APPG FORB. Lady Verma is an Indian-British politician in the United Kingdom. An appointed member of the House of Lords, she is Ministerial Champion for Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls Overseas, a role who chairs the UN Women’s national committee.
