Forbes, DiversityInc. and Military Times
Recognize Exelon for D&I Excellence
Exelon’s efforts to hire, retain and promote employees from a
variety of backgrounds and to create an inclusive culture have
secured the company three separate honors in 2019, including 24th
place on DiversityInc’s list of the Top 50 Companies. Exelon moved
up eight positions in the rankings compared with 2018 as a result
of continued focus on diversity and inclusion, including its work
with the United Nations Women HeForShe campaign.
“Diversity and inclusion are core values at Exelon, leading to
greater innovation, market competitiveness and better solutions for
our customers,” said Chris Crane, Exelon’s President and CEO. “We
are proud to be included among such top-tier companies and this
recognition by DiversityInc for a fifth year reaffirms that we are
fulfilling our commitment.”
The DiversityInc Top 50 list, issued yearly since 2001,
recognizes the nation’s top companies for diversity and inclusion
management. It is an empirically driven ranking based on
recruitment, talent development, senior leadership commitment and
supplier diversity. The winning companies excel in areas such as
hiring, retaining and promoting women, minorities, people with
disabilities, LGBTQ and veterans. The organization also named
Exelon one of the “Top 10 Companies for Diverse Leadership” (number
4), as well as a “Top Company for Veterans.” Exelon is also the
top-rated electric company in the DiversityInc Top 50 list.
Military Times Magazine agreed with this assessment, recently
naming Exelon one of the nation’s “Best for Vets,” a highly
competitive honor given to companies that devote resources to
recruiting veterans and their families and providing any support
they may need for a successful transition from military to civilian
life.
Additionally, Forbes named Exelon to its second annual list of
the Best Employers for Diversity in a national survey made up of
rankings based on feedback from a company’s own employees.
Exelon is committed to diversity and inclusion across its
business. In 2017, the company joined the HeForShe campaign,
pledging to invest $3 million from the Exelon Foundation in STEM
programs for young women and girls and to improve the company’s
retention of women by 2020. This follows Exelon’s decision in 2016
to support employees by expanding its family leave policy and
joining over 100 like-minded companies in signing the White House
Equal Pay Pledge.
Exelon companies and the Exelon Foundation also donated $51.3
million to nonprofits nationwide in 2018, with 76 percent of
contributions supporting organizations supporting diverse
populations.
