At S&C, everyone is essential.

We believe diverse, inclusive teams empower each other to innovate and do their best work. Together, we drive for equity to build meaningful, challenging careers and to care for our communities and each other. We celebrate our successes, learn and grow from our mistakes, and inspire each other to create the grid—and workplace—of the future.

Diversity

With team members across the globe and spanning five generations, S&C embodies a culture of respect for all people, regardless of ethnicity, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, or diversity of thought. 

Race

  • 62% of our U.S. workforce is racially diverse. When analyzing hourly and salaried team member populations separately, the racial diversity of these groups is 75% and 38% respectively.

  • 36% of team members in leadership positions are racially diverse.

  • 70% of team members hired in 2023 are racially diverse.

Gender

  • 21% of our global team members are women. When analyzing hourly and salaried team member populations separately, the gender diversity of these groups is 19% and 24% respectively.

  • 19% of team members in leadership positions are women.

  • 26% of team members hired in 2023 are women.

Age

  • 15% of global team members are less than 30 years old.

  • 47% of global team members are 30 to 50 years old.

  • 38% of global team members are more than 50 years old.

S&C continues to prioritize several initiatives to increase the overall diversity of our workforce, including: 

  • Broadening our talent pools and recruiting through partnerships
  • Increasing participation in our team member affinity groups, development programs, and other resources that help team members feel appreciated, accepted, and supported
  • Identifying opportunities to improve our recruitment and retention efforts
  • Upholding a recruiting target of one candidate who is diverse, by gender or ethnicity, for every three job candidates

While we are proud of the progress we have made, we recognize there is still work to be done. Looking ahead, we will continue to take action to increase the overall diversity of our workforce, especially within leadership teams and salaried positions. 

Equity

S&C’s team members are the key to our success, and we believe career advancement and professional growth opportunities are one of the best methods for advancing equity. With that in mind, S&C operates the following development and leadership training programs:

Development plans encourage conversations between team members and leaders to identify career goals and skill-building opportunities and then create action plans to address those objectives.

Inclusion

Taking care of team members, in alignment with S&C’s core values and guiding principles of “Respect for People,” involves making sure all voices are heard and valued, no matter their racial or ethnic background, gender identity, or other diverse status. To foster this culture, S&C has several affinity groups centered around diversity and inclusion:
