Southern Company champions equity through diverse initiatives, with Community Investment and Social Justice being one of the cornerstone pillars of our Moving to Equity framework. This pillar amplifies our commitment to engaging and supporting organizations that make a significant difference in the communities where we live and work.
We proudly champion and support OnBoard for their advocacy in increasing the presence of women in executive leadership and on corporate boards.
OnBoard's annual study, since 1993, continues to be the trusted measure for evaluating gender parity for the corporate sector – a stance reinforced by a quote included is year’s study from the Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance, "women in executive leadership is good for business."
At Southern Company, we measure success not just financially, but culturally, valuing diversity in our talent pool and recognizing that varied perspectives drive innovation and productivity. Elevating women at every level of our company helps us achieves these outcomes.
Our ongoing efforts to diversify leadership are reflected in the positive trajectory in the percentage of female representation within management positions and new hires over the past four years. Learn more about our progress in our 2023 Moving to Equity report, available here.
