Making a difference in CSR
We received an Outstanding Social Responsibility Award at the 2025 Metro Pride Awards for our exceptional efforts in supporting the LGBTQ+ community. The award recognised that “Nissan has consistently demonstrated a remarkable commitment to DEI”, citing our Dare to Defy TV docuseries and our Possibilities Project.
The latter promotes inclusivity, equality, and opportunity through a variety of internal and external initiatives, including: being a founding partner of Rainbow Row at the TCS London Marathon; creating LGBTQ+ themed Cheerzones at Great Run Series events; and teaming up with Manchester City FC’s charitable foundation, CiTC, to provide safe football spaces for the LGBTQ+ community in the Manchester area.
Award-winning alumnus
Clíodhna Lyons, Vice President, Product and Service Strategy and Planning, Nissan & INFINITI AMIEO, was honoured in the University College Dublin Alumni Awards.
Great places to work
Nissan Australia, New Zealand, and Nissan Digital India LLP were all certified as Great Places to Work.
Driving real, meaningful change takes passion, courage, and action - qualities our colleagues have shown time and again. Accelerating Nissan’s Possibilities Project, setting up wellbeing initiatives, championing DEI and mentoring the next generation – their impact is shaping the future of our industry.
