To make the best decisions for our customers, communities, employees and other stakeholders, Southern Company is highly focused on key considerations that impact our work, culture and well-being. Chief among these considerations are our Values and Code of Ethics, including our Safety First priority.
tweet me: Southern Company has launched a new website detailing its work building equity in the company and its communities. The “Boldly Forward” site will provide updates on the company’s Moving to Equity work and diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives.
“The Boldly Forward mantra perfectly describes our path onward and continued commitment to equity at Southern Company,” said Tom Fanning, Southern Company chairman, president and CEO. “Our goal of DE&I aims to ensure all groups, especially historically underrepresented and marginalized ones, are well represented, included and treated fairly within all levels of our organization and in our communities.”
The Boldly Forward site includes information on Southern Company system’s culture, community impact, work to advance education equity and civic engagement. This includes investing in Historically Black Colleges and Universities and the Amplifying HBCU initiative to create a more inclusive workforce for the future.
Southern Company launched its Moving to Equity framework in 2020 amid national conversations on racism and inequality. Earlier this year, Southern Company released its inaugural Moving to Equity: 2021 Transformation Report tracking progress of long-term goals, highlighting key results and outlining how the company can improve and continue to hold itself accountable.
“The Boldly Forward site is another tool we will use to track our progress as we continue to hold ourselves accountable in this work,” Fanning said.
Our operating companies embody our philosophy to be a Citizen Wherever We Serve.
