Diversity and Inclusion
At Avangrid, we strive to build, sustain, and empower a diverse workforce with a rich mix of differences. To us, this means creating inclusive workplaces where every employee feels valued and where there are equitable opportunities for everyone to grow and develop. Living the values of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is critical to our success and as such we have prioritized initiatives in three key areas:
- Increasing diverse representation, especially in leadership positions.
- Promoting equitable opportunities to grow and develop.
- Establishing pathways for community and connection with others.
We are proud to be members of Paradigm for Parity and CEO Action! for Diversity and Inclusion, as well as continuing our longtime partnership with leading industry associations such as the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) and American Gas Association (AGA) as together we drive continuous improvement in the utility sector.
