3 Language & Culture Worldwide (LCW) Global ERG Study LCW has conducted research among Fortune 500 corpora2ons with a global ERG reach for the past 4 years Notable Trends Every company responding had women-focused ERGs in mul2ple regions around the world. Numerous corpora2ons also had ERGs geared towards genera2onal differences, LGBT individuals, community service and volunteerism, as well as access and ability. Contrary to the idea that race and ethnicity is mostly a U.S.-driven issue, companies reported global ERGs are present for race and ethnicity in every region except Australasia / Oceania. Very few regions had ERGs dedicated to the focus of a single religion.
