REDI.LGBTI

What REDI.LGBTI does

REDI (Red Empresarial por la Diversidad e Inclusión LGBTI) is a Madrid-headquartered non-profit business association founded in June 2015 and legally constituted in February 2018 under Spain's Organic Law 1/2002. It is the first and only Spanish business association dedicated to promoting LGBTQ+ diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and in December 2024 was recognized by the Ministry of the Interior as an association of public utility (NIF G88062344). As of January 2026 it counts 327 member organizations spanning banking, insurance, pharmaceuticals, technology, legal services, energy, retail and aerospace.

The association does not develop a technology product. Its core offering is a tiered annual membership program (large enterprises >200 employees, medium 50-199, small <50, plus nonprofits, expert consultants and individual supporters), delivered through advisory services, practical resources hosted on a members-only portal, regulatory guidance on Spain's Law 4/2023 and Royal Decree 1026/2024, and a layered programming calendar: Academia REDI training, the annual Orgullo Corporativo event series (Madrid, Barcelona, A Coruña, Sevilla), the LGBT+@Work conference co-organized with IE University (now in its 20th edition), the Top Líderes LGBTI+ awards with Actualidad Económica, sector chapters (Legal, Biofarma y Salud), the REDI to Connect Employees ERG network, and the Bolsa de Empleo "Impacto Social LGBTIQ+" employment exchange launched with myGwork in October 2025.

Go-to-market is a direct, consultative enterprise sales motion combined with community-led referral and event-driven demand generation. The organization is led by Co-Directors Óscar Muñoz and Marta Herraiz, with a Board of Directors chaired by Borja Sainz de Aja (Partner, Uría Menéndez) and including representatives from SAP, Salesforce, Airbus, BBVA, Cuatrecasas, AXA, Repsol and Fundación ONCE. Strategic alliances with CEOE, IE University, ManpowerGroup, BBVA, Google, NGLCC, myGwork and various embassies anchor its institutional positioning. Revenue is generated exclusively through annual membership dues and supplementary event sponsorship; exact fee schedules are not publicly disclosed.

Emerging players

• myGwork: myGwork is a LGBTQ+ recruitment and networking platform that partnered with REDI to launch the Bolsa de Empleo 'Impacto Social LGBTIQ+' employment exchange. While not a membership association, myGwork serves the same Spanish corporate LGBTQ+ inclusion market via a digital-first talent platform model.

Regional players

• Working Families (UK): Working Families is a UK-based charity supporting workplace inclusion for parents and carers. While its focus is family rather than LGBTQ+ inclusion, its membership-and-employer-advisory model for Spanish/European workplace inclusion initiatives parallels REDI's structure.

Broad incumbents

• CEOE (Confederación Española de Organizaciones Empresariales): CEOE is Spain's main business confederation and a formal strategic partner of REDI for compliance training on Law 4/2023. While it is a broad industry-wide federation rather than a diversity-specific body, it represents the broader employer constituency that REDI serves and competes for relevance with on D&I topics.

Direct peers

• EPBN (European Pride Business Network): EPBN is a federation of European LGBTQ+ business organizations including REDI itself. It functions as a network of peers (national LGBTQ+ business associations across Europe), making it directly comparable in terms of organizational model and member-base composition.
• Stonewall UK: Stonewall is the UK's leading LGBTQ+ rights charity that operates a workplace equality programme and membership model for employers (Stonewall Diversity Champions), making it the closest international analogue to REDI. REDI explicitly cited Stonewall as an inspiration when founded in 2015, and both organizations serve as the primary corporate D&I advisors in their respective markets.
• Fundación Diversidad: Fundación Diversidad is a Spanish foundation promoting workplace diversity with which REDI co-runs the 'Nuestro Orgullo es la Diversidad' campaign. Both organizations operate in the Spanish workplace D&I space and engage corporate members, though Fundación Diversidad covers broader diversity dimensions beyond LGBTI.
• NGLCC (National LGBT Chamber of Commerce): NGLCC is the US-based business association for LGBTQ+ chambers of commerce and certified LGBTQ+ business enterprises. REDI partnered with NGLCC for the 2024 LGBTIQ+ Business Forum and both organizations operate as business-led, membership-based LGBTQ+ inclusion networks, though NGLCC focuses on supplier diversity certification while REDI focuses on workplace inclusion.
• IGLTA (International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association): IGLTA is a global membership-based network of LGBTQ+ welcoming tourism businesses. REDI maintains an affiliation with IGLTA, and both organizations serve as convening bodies that connect LGBTQ+-friendly businesses across markets, although IGLTA is focused specifically on travel and hospitality.

Others

• Fundación ONCE: Fundación ONCE is a Spanish foundation promoting disability inclusion that holds a board seat at REDI and co-sponsors the employment exchange. It operates a similar membership-and-events model in the disability inclusion space, making it a thematic peer in Spanish workplace D&I infrastructure.
• ManpowerGroup: ManpowerGroup is a global workforce solutions firm that partners with REDI on the annual Diversity at Work study (4th edition in 2026). It is not a direct competitor but operates in adjacent D&I research and consulting space, providing benchmarking data that reinforces REDI's advisory positioning.
