The LGBT Diversity Index is issued on an annual basis by the private Italian association Parks. The association uses the index as a means of presenting awards to organizations in Italy, based on various facets of LGBT inclusion. Participating in the Index does not require an organisation to be a fee-paying member of Parks, although, over the course of its existence, all awards have indeed gone to Parks members. In 2018, Parks had 61 members, the majority of them national subsidiaries of those international corporations that are also highly visible within other national contexts of LGBT inclusion. The Index has contributed hugely to the diffusion of LGBT diversity management practices in Italy over the past few years. However, its lack of transparency, as well as the apparently tight-knit relationship between the issuing association and the participants of the Index, might be seen as critical factors to be taken into consideration when developing the Index further.
