GLOBAL INCLUSION LIST 2026
We congratulate the individuals on the Global Inclusion List 2026 - champions whose work strengthens organisations, empowers communities and advances a more inclusive world.
The list highlights exceptional individuals driving meaningful, measurable progress in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion worldwide. Widely recognised as a global benchmark for embedding inclusion at the heart of organisations, the List celebrates leaders committed to building fairer workplaces and communities.
From grassroots changemakers to senior executives, those featured demonstrate outstanding leadership
in attracting and retaining diverse talent, fostering inclusive cultures, and removing barriers to opportunity. Their work goes beyond representation, focusing on the lived experience of inclusion in everyday working life.
At a time when the business and social case for inclusion has never been clearer, these honourees provide both inspiration and practical pathways forward. Their leadership shows that progress is driven by persistence, empathy and courageous action.
Established in 2016, the Global Inclusion List forms part of globalInclusivity.org, a global initiative dedicated to recognising, elevating and connecting those advancing equity across workplaces and societies.
Becoming a member of globalInclusivity.org offers organisations and individuals the opportunity to connect with a global network committed to turning inclusive values into meaningful action. Members gain access to shared learning, insight and collaboration across sectors, united by the belief that inclusion is not optional - it’s essential.
