“It cannot be overstated how important it is to foster a
workplace culture that seeks out and values diverse perspectives,”
said Pedro Azagra, Avangrid CEO. “In a time when other corporations
are taking a step back, Avangrid and Iberdrola are expanding our
DEI efforts to build the diversity of our workforce, advance gender
parity and create a more equitable and inclusive workplace. This
includes expanding mentorship opportunities, enhancing talent
acquisition partnerships, and monitoring applicant pools and
pipelines to consistently ensure a diverse set of candidates.”
To build, sustain and empower a diverse workforce with a rich
mix of differences, Avangrid prioritizes DEI initiatives in three
areas: increasing diverse representation, especially in leadership
positions; promoting equitable opportunities to grow and develop;
and establishing pathways for community and connection with others.
Currently, Avangrid has a diverse workforce rich with employees
from all backgrounds, including an executive leadership team
made-up of 38.5% women.
In 2024, Avangrid has taken steps to advance DEI in the
workplace. This includes:
- Collaborating with Connecticut State and Disability:IN to
launch pilot program to help build a diverse talent pipeline by
developing opportunities to employ visually impaired
individuals.
- Growing employee participation in Avangrid’s seven business
resource groups (BRGs) to its highest level since the founding of
the BRGs. To date this year, nearly a quarter of all Avangrid
employees are a member of at least one BRG.
- Expanding required trainings by adding a 2024 DEI Inclusion at
Work module focusing on disability inclusion and allyship.
- Hosting more BRG events than ever before, with 127 events and
13 volunteering activities planned for 2024.
- Continuing Avangrid’s involvement with Paradigm for Parity, a
coalition of corporate leaders committed to addressing the
corporate leadership gender gap.
These efforts have earned Avangrid multiple accolades in the DEI
space. In April, Avangrid was named to Forbes list of America’s
Best Employers for Diversity 2024,
which highlights leading companies with top diversity, equity and
inclusion (DEI) best practices. Mostly recently, Avangrid was named
a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion by Disability:IN
after receiving the maximum score of 100 on their 2024 Disability
Equality Index.
