Founded in Vienna, Austria in 2013, East meets West (EMW) is a non-profit, Central and Eastern European network of LGBTI professionals allowing the exchange of ideas, sharing best practices and mutual inspiration to improve the situation of LGBTI men and women in different countries. East meets West’s "Tap on the Shoulder" 2020 Awards recognized individuals, NGOs and companies who by their actions improve the status of the LGBTI community in their environment. For a number of years, Barilla has been collaborating with EMW and the European Gay Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (EGLCC) as part of our Global Supplier Diversity & Inclusion Program.
