Hi, Serena,
First, as we are a very inclusive company, we put a lot of emphasis on diversity, equality and have various support groups, initiatives and training for employees and leaders alike - as our culture is very important.
We have different ERG groups in place, globally and locally as well, so this is also valid for LGBT+ employees.
We do not discriminate in any form - and provide learning and development opportunities for all, regardless of their background, religion, gender, age etc.

If you check our Employee blogs, you will also notice that some of our colleagues also talk about diversity and inclusion, and share their own stories. https://www.nokia.com/about-us/careers/life-at-nokia/employee-blogs/
We are one of the world’s most ethical companies. Our Chief Legal Officer, Nassib Abou-Khalil is also an I&D ambassador, working closely with Nokia’s LGBT+ employee resource group EQUAL! An out leader himself, he took part in the launch of the OUT Leaders program at Nokia.https://www.nokia.com/about-us/company/leadership-and-governance/group-leadership-team/nassib-abou-khalil/
