The pride colours will shine brightly every evening for one week, adding to the fun, colour and united atmosphere during Pride Week and the highly anticipated Durban Pride Liberation March and Festival taking place on Saturday, 23 July.

Unilever, the number one top employer in South Africa, is committed to diversity and inclusivity in the workplace and by supporting this initiative, aims to send a clear message out to both the public and their employees that our differences make South Africa stronger.

Mechell Chetty, Unilever vice president of human resources says; “It’s imperative that our employees feel free to be themselves and bring their full potential to the workplace.”

Chetty adds; “Over the years, and through our focused approach towards the gender equality and the inclusivity agenda, Unilever has created a working environment where all employees can thrive and achieve their goals in a supportive organisational environment.”

Unilever’s commitment to diversity and gender equality has also proved to be positive for business, with the company’s ability to retain top talent and their award winning reputation as South Africa’s top employer.

“We’re excited to show our support for Durban Pride this year and we hope that people see our gesture as a symbol of much needed diversity and unity in the workplace,” concludes Chetty.

The lights will be on from 18:00 until 22:00.
