Held on Wednesday at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London’s Covent Garden, the awards brought together inspiring individuals, brands, organisations, and charities to celebrate their commitment to LGBTQ+ initiatives that improve the lives and opportunities of people across the UK.
Nissan was recognised for its dedication to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, particularly the Possibilities Project, which encapsulates multiple initiatives that foster inclusivity, equality, and opportunity for individuals from all walks of life.
It was nominated for the shortlist by members of the public, and then chosen to win the accolade by a panel of expert judges, who commented: “Through its fantastic Possibilities Project activities and the brilliant Dare to Defy TV docuseries, plus a host of internal initiatives to make its workplaces more inclusive, Nissan has consistently demonstrated a remarkable commitment to DEI.
”It is a deserving winner of the 2025 Metro Pride Award for Outstanding Corporate Social Responsibility – congratulations to all involved!”
Fiona Mackay, Nissan Marketing Director, added: “The Possibilities Project epitomises Nissan’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, both within our workplace and in the wider community.
“We’re naturally very proud to be recognised for these efforts, but even more so that our ongoing support for the LGBTQ+ community plays a part in making a positive difference to the lives of underrepresented communities in the UK.”
Rachel Foster, Nissan HR Manager, said: “We are inspired by the incredible individuals and organisations recognised by the Metro Pride Awards, and honoured to be part of this outstanding community.
“We believe that embracing diversity not only strengthens our company but also drives positive change in the world. We will continue work hand-in-hand with the LGBTQ+ community to build a future that is inclusive for all.”
Established in 2021, the Nissan Possibilities Project is Nissan’s long-term CSR programme that promotes Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, with a key focus on supporting the LGBTQ+ community by demonstrating tangible support through internal and external initiatives.
Many of these were highlighted in Dare to Defy, a three-part Prime Video docuseries launched in December 2024 that focuses on breaking down barriers within sport for underrepresented communities.
