Pepco Holdings, Inc., Cited for Leadership in Diversity
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Pepco Holdings, Inc., (NYSE: POM) has been recognized as one of Black Enterprise Magazine's 40 Best Companies for Diversity in employee programs and business practices for the fourth consecutive year. This award, the second in two months from a major national publication, honors PHI as one of the industry's premier leaders in diversity.
Black Enterprise Magazine believes top companies who demand diversity and inclusion create the programs, systems and tracking necessary to fully incorporate their business model.
"PHI's strategy for success begins with leadership's commitment to diversity development programs that are aligned with our corporate business planning, best practices research, and proven business principles," said Joy Dorsey, PHI's Director of Diversity and Supplier Diversity.
PHI was also cited for providing domestic partner benefits for both same-sex and opposite-sex partners. In April, PHI was named one of DiversityInc Magazine's Top Five Utility Companies for Diversity in employee programs and business practices.
Black Enterprise based its selection on four key areas: supplier diversity, board of directors, senior management, and employee base. Companies responded to over 200 survey questions which were evaluated by a 10-member panel of independent diversity experts.
