MGM Resorts International has reconfirmed their dedication to helping companies directed by LGBTQ+ people by providing a $25,000 gift to the Nevada Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (GLCCNV). At a Pride Month event held at MGM Grand’s Level Up, a donation was handed over in a ceremonial fashion. Jyoti Chopra, Chief People, Inclusion and Sustainability Officer at MGM Resorts, voiced his pride in being able to assist the Nevada Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce in achieving its goals of helping the LGBTQ+ community to gain prosperity through entrepreneurial ventures. Every individual should get the chance to thrive, and we are proud to be a part of a group that honors diversity and welcomes inclusiveness. MGM Resorts holds a dedicated stance towards diversity, equity and inclusion, and strives to promote these values both inside the company and within the different cities they work in. This donation to the GLCCNV, coupled with projects like its Supplier Diversity Program, reveals the staunch backing of the Organization for businesses owned by people of diverse backgrounds, making an atmosphere of tolerance and access. MGM Resorts has long been a strong ally of the LGBTQ+ community. It has been a major innovator in the gaming and hospitality industry since the early 2000s, when it began to provide same-sex health benefits to its employees and facilitate same-sex ceremonies at their chapels. The organization is now providing gratis aid for its LGBTQ+ personnel in acquiring quality medical care, in addition to perpetually exhibiting strong advocacy for LGBTQ+ human rights. The Human Rights Campaign acknowledged MGM Resorts as one of the top places in the country for LGBTQ+ Equality at work. The company has also maintained a flawless score for 11 years in a row on the Corporate Equality Index, which is the leading survey in the country for evaluating corporate policies and practices in relation to equality in the workplace for the LGBTQ+ community.
