Company expands annual D&I Honor Roll for
financial and information technology partners to include best
practice forum
As part of ongoing efforts to promote diversity and inclusion
(D&I) in all aspects of its business, Exelon has named 20
professional service partners to its 2017 D&I Honor Roll. Now
in its seventh year, the honor roll recognizes finance, insurance
and IT organizations for their work in 2016 to include women,
people of color and other diverse groups in key roles on Exelon’s
account teams. The annual program will expand this year to include
an opportunity for honorees to share best practices with each other
and additional participants at a one-day forum focused on
encouraging contributions from women and minorities in their
businesses.
“Just as we seek to engage professional service firms who are
the best at what they do, we want to work with partners who are
committed to our values, including fostering a diverse and
inclusive workplace,” said Jack Thayer, Exelon’s senior executive
vice president and chief financial officer. “In our experience,
those things go hand in hand -- having diverse teams leads to
stronger results. We want our D&I Honor Roll program to serve
as encouragement to other companies, and with the new best practice
forum we look forward to learning from them as well.”
Exelon’s D&I honorees have doubled since the program’s
inception in 2011. The following companies will be recognized
during this year’s 2017 D&I Honor Roll program on July 20:
- Banking: Northern Trust Company,
Citibank, MUFG, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BNP Paribas, Mizuho,
J.P. Morgan and CIBC

- IT Services: TradeMux LLC, 720
Worldwide Inc., Hi Tech Solutions Inc., ICON Information
Consultants and Deloitte Consulting LLP
- Professional Services: Ernst

“Exelon and Northern Trust share a common goal of consistently
demonstrating accountability and outcomes in our practice of
diversity and inclusion,” said Connie Lindsey, Head of Corporate
Social Responsibility and Global Diversity & Inclusion at
Northern Trust, a seven-year honoree.
"Hi-Tech Solutions is proud to partner with Exelon as we deliver
top talent,” said Stephanie McConnell, Senior Account Executive
from Hi-Tech Solutions Inc. “To receive the D&I award for the
second year in a row is an honor and our team consciously strives
to meet the standards.”
Exelon’s commitment to diverse and inclusive practices also
includes arranging $129 million in credit lines last year with 26
community- and minority-owned banks in communities where the
company operates across the country. Exelon is also dedicated to
working with diverse-certified suppliers as part of its supply
chain strategy, spending close to $2 billion with minority, women
and veteran-owned suppliers in 2016, a 36 percent increase over the
previous year.
This year, DiversityInc. named Exelon a Top 50 company for
Diversity. The company also recently joined 150 leading companies
for the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ , the largest
CEO-driven business commitment to take action to cultivate a
workplace where diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed
