Brandes is committed to a diverse, equitable and inclusive (DEI) working environment for its employees that respects the authentic expression of their unique identities, one where they can thrive and realize their full potential.
We’ve brought these convictions to life through internal and external management initiatives, affiliations and participation in public events that translate our good intentions into actions. We aim to capture them on this page.
Brandes is a foundation-level member of LGBT Great, a global organization that specializes “in developing LGBT+ diversity and inclusion within the investment and savings industry.” Our affiliation in LGBT Great is a clear reflection of our concept of inclusive citizenship and places Brandes in the company of global firms with the same outlook. We think that DEI should be a key attribute of the global financial services community, to the benefit of our employees, clients and the investors who have entrusted their funds to us. We believe our membership signals to the talent pool within Brandes and to prospective employees that our DEI commitment is sincere.
In September 2023, the LGBT Great team unveiled their Top 50 Gamechangers 2023. This list is meant to recognize people in the global financial services industry who are helping to change the game for LGBT+ diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I). We are incredibly proud to see our colleague Carlos Oliveira on this remarkable list.
In September 2023, the LGBT Great team announced the launch of LGBT Great Careers, of which Brandes Investment Partners is a founding partner.
In June 2023, the LGBT Great team announced the Top 50 Executive Allies 2023. The Top 50 aims to recognize and celebrate senior leaders in financial services and business around the world, who have used their platform, influence, and role, to ally and sponsor the LGBT+ community. We are incredibly proud to see our colleague Ray Lewis on this remarkable list.
