LGBTQI+ and Allies
Ausgrid supports LGBTQI+ employees and allies by fostering respect, representation and safety, and by strengthening connections with the wider community.
We want to create an environment where increased representation, inclusion, respect and support for LGBTQI+ employees and their allies generates knowledge, expands relationships and connects Ausgrid to the wider LGBTQI+ community. This promotes equal opportunities and inclusiveness in recruitment, orientation, promotion, retention, and duty of care.
Rainbow diversity and representation
Many of our employees identify as LGBTQI+ or are allies and play pivotal roles to our success. Through education and awareness, we champion safety and respect throughout our workplace and practices.
Pride Employee Resource Group
Pride employee resource group ensures we are connected to the wider LGBTQI+ community, shaping our internal initiatives for change.
Energy Equality Alliance
Founded by Ausgrid and made up of organisations within the Energy sector across Australia, The Energy Equality Alliance has been established to support those employees who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex (LGBTQI+), and their allies within our industry. The Alliance’s objectives are to:
- Promote the Energy industry as a safe and inclusive industry for everyone who identifies as LGBTQI+.
- Create a safe, inclusive and respectful industry network where our employees can connect and feel they belong.
- Share common challenges and solutions to build organisational capability more broadly.
