Everyone wants to feel welcome at work and to feel as if they can be themselves. We think the best way to achieve this is through building an inclusive and diverse workforce and fostering an inclusive workplace where diversity is embraced.

We’re committed to creating a work environment where people are treated fairly and where everyone feels respected, valued and empowered to reach their full potential. Our mission is to build a business that represents reflects and celebrates the culture and communities we serve.

Our Misson

We are aspiring to one day be amongst the most inclusive, diverse, and equitable companies in the business. We will do this by focusing our efforts on empowering our people, building a diverse workforce, delivery equity through our processes, and using our platform to elevate issues impacting people across the world.

Our five DEI commitments are:

• Share our impact far and wide by establishing ourselves as a leader in the clean energy future through our eco-systems and communities to support an inclusive energy transition.
• Be bold with our communications by using our DEI voice to deliver organisational radical transparency, engagement, and trust by continuously re-defining our status quo.
• Diversify our workforce and embed equity by attracting, progressing, and retaining diverse and underrepresented talent.
• Ensure everyone models inclusive behaviour by creating and maintaining an inclusive mindset where everyone is accountable and empowered to lead, coach, and behave inclusively regardless of role, level, or status.
• Integrate and elevate our employee resource groups, who champion business performance and reputation, to help advance our culture of inclusion.
