Heroes Role Model Lists: These Lists highlight women leaders and their allies who champion women in business and drive change for gender diversity in the workplace.

Outstanding Role Model Lists: These Lists highlight LGBTQ+ business leaders and allies breaking down barriers for LGBTQ+ people at work and creating more inclusive workplaces worldwide.
