About us
SGLCC - the Scandinavian LGBT Chamber of CommerceA platform for meetings and business development for LGBT owned businesses, the general world of business, and multinational companies.
About us
Given the history of LGBT rights and development in Sweden and Scandinavia, there has for quite some time been a need for a meeting platform between the corporate sector, the community and their businesses.
Although the civil rights for LGBT-people in the region are well protected legally, there is a major gap in communication between these two parts of society.
The SGLCC aims to narrow this gap. We will provide a forum for communication and understanding between corporation and the LGBT-community, in real life meetings as well as on-line.
We will provide certification for LGBT-businesses, education and in-house training, as well as advice for corporate members and be a source for procurement and staff and to share best practice.
