Statement on Withdrawing St. Patrick’s Day Sponsorship
Statement on Withdrawing St. Patrick’s Day Sponsorship Lyrics
Guinness has a strong history of supporting diversity and being an advocate for equality for all. We were hopeful that the policy of exclusion would be reversed for this year’s parade. As this has not come to pass, Guinness has withdrawn its participation. We will continue to work with community leaders to ensure that future parades have an inclusionary policy.
