Sebastian Vettel and Cognizant on the importance of allyship and diversity

As we continue to celebrate Pride Month, Aston Martin F1 driver Sebastian Vettel discusses the role of allyship and diversity, equality and inclusion in corporate environments with Gaurav Chand, Chief Marketing Officer of our title partner Cognizant.

At its heart, Cognizant, one of the world’s leading professional services organisations, is a people company, and it has learned that diversity within its teams provides a critical competitive advantage. Diversity of thought and experiences drives performance and shapes successful business outcomes.

Guarav Chand, Cognizant CMO, sat down with Sebastian Vettel for an illuminating discussion on the impact that the AMF1 driver is making by being an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and how that’s helping to promote diversity, equality and inclusion.

"Wherever you're travelling in the world, you might look different or have a different background, but it feels great to know that you are welcome and people appreciate you the way you are," says Seb.
