Our Vision
Our vision is for AVANGRID to be a destination where talented and committed people want to build long-term careers. We strive to build and sustain a diverse workforce with a rich mix of differences, and an inclusive culture in which each person feels valued and connected – no matter where we work. Our employees provide the energy and innovation that drive AVANGRID, enabling us to continue putting customers first and to succeed in a competitive market.
What Diversity & Inclusion Mean to Us
At AVANGRID, diversity encompasses all the dimensions that make each of us one-of-a-kind, including ethnicity, race, age, gender, sexual orientation, personality, beliefs, experiences, perspectives, and more. We believe innovation thrives in inclusive environments where our inherent worth is recognized, we can be authentic with one another, and we know we belong to something bigger.
Our Roadmap
The roadmap to Destination AVANGRID is constantly evolving to meet the needs of our workforce and our business and adjust to our environment. It includes diversity and inclusion initiatives that tie to AVANGRID’s values of Sustainability, Agility, and Collaboration.
Some recent examples of progress against our roadmap are below.

Employee Leadership
AVANGRID has a growing network of Business Resource Groups for our employee community – including WomENergy, AVAN-Veterans, and the Avangrid African-American Council of Excellence. Our BRGs are led by AVANGRID employees and provide opportunities for professional networking, career development, and community building.
