In the lead up to International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) on 17 May, we spoke to Scott Lester, Vice President Functions and Marketing in our Finance team.

As he approaches his 20th year with BHP, Scott reflects on how powerful it is feeling comfortable enough to bring your whole self to work, and why occasions like IDAHOBIT, which recognise a spectrum of sexual and gender identities, are so important.

We know we will be successful when our teams are inclusive and diverse. Inclusion and diversity isn’t just about gender – and that’s why it’s important we recognise days like IDAHOBIT.
