Welcome to History Month 2024

Dear Subscriber,

Welcome to History Month and the start of our #MakingHistory campaign! The purpose of the #MakingHistory campaign is to shine a light on past learning and history to help create a brighter and better future.

February represents the intersection of Black History Month in the United States, LGBTQ+ History Month in the United Kingdom and Aromantic Awareness Week. To support you in engaging and empowering your colleagues during this exciting month, we are pleased to provide with you a month-long series of awareness-building tools for you to leverage.

Thank you for being part of our mission to empower 1 million by 2030 through the #ProudWork Sustainability Programme. We look forward to engaging in the month ahead!
