How our differences are powering our future
Sharing values, and valuing differences. This is at the heart of how we are making a difference for the customers and communities served by Dominion Energy. We believe that in order to unlock the power of collaboration, innovation, and collective achievement in business, we must respect diversity, treat each other with fairness and equality, and build a talented workforce enriched by people of varied backgrounds, education and life experiences.
We annually report on our progress and performance as related to diversity and inclusion practices in our Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility Report.
Diversity Councils
Our commitment to diversity begins at the top. Our Executive Diversity Council sets and monitors objectives for workforce and supplier diversity, corporate philanthropy and community involvement. In addition, each of Dominion Energy's business units has its own diversity council, which works alongside the executive sponsors to promote diversity and inclusion within the company.
Welcoming these different perspectives builds a more creative and innovative workplace, leading to greater productivity, improved profit margins, and better service to our customers and other stakeholders.
We work to recruit, retain, and develop the careers of talented individuals who reflect the changing demographics of the communities in which we do business. Our strategic plan to cultivate this diversified workforce includes three core components:
Employee Resource Groups
Dominion Energy offers diverse interest groups to bring together employees with shared backgrounds, interests or perspectives, to foster a sense of community and to offer networking opportunities:
Equal Employment Opportunity

“We’re proud to be partners with many diverse suppliers. We have found small, minority, women, veteran, service-disabled veteran, LGBTQ and disability-owned businesses are a rich source of ideas and deliver real value to our company. These relationships strengthen our communities and contribute substantially to our success.” - Thomas F. Farrell, II, Chief Executive Officer

Educational Programs
