Workforce Diversity & Inclusion
The heart of our company is our people. Cultivating diversity isn’t about checking a box. We strive to have a diverse workforce because it makes Con Edison stronger and helps us lead the industry on every level, from maintaining our best-in-class reliability to achieving a clean energy future, while creating a sustainable future for our company.
Our more than 14,000 employees come from many backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, and races, and bring different skills, viewpoints, and personalities. We aim to make sure every person here feels respected, included, and safe to speak up. If our workplace isn’t open, inclusive, and diverse, we risk missing out on great ideas and varied perspectives.
Making sure our workplace is inclusive and respectful means our people can bring their best and do their best—and helps us attract and retain the best talent. By regularly examining and improving our hiring process and retention policies, we are making Con Edison a better place to build careers, and we are building an even better Con Edison.
We will never stop working towards a more diverse workforce where everyone feels included. In a decade in which change will come faster than ever, having a truly diverse pool of talents, backgrounds, abilities, and points of view is essential to achieving our clean energy goals.
