“We cannot make a meaningful impact without responsive companies who are willing to stand accountable as equity leaders and whose employees are committed to working every day toward a better future,” said As You Sow Racial Justice Initiative Manager Olivia Knight. “Eversource serves as an example that businesses across sectors can look to as a leader in taking action to advance DE&I initiatives that make a difference.”

“Greater social justice and racial equity are core values at Eversource, and we’re proud to be recognized by a national leader on corporate responsibility like As You Sow for not just ‘talking the talk’ but ‘walking the walk’ on these critical issues,” said Eversource Executive Vice President for Human Resources & Information Technology Chris Carmody. “We work every day to foster an environment where every employee is respected, feels they belong, and can thrive. This is critical to our success, as we work to provide safe, reliable service and maximize the benefits of a clean energy future for all customers – including those in our environmental justice communities. Our work to accelerate progress on meaningful, positive change in our workplace and our communities by addressing systemic racism and inequality is far from complete, and we look forward to continued efforts with our employees and partners like As You Sow on the never-ending journey to greater diversity, equity and inclusion.”

The As You Sow scorecards provide a benchmark for assessing companies on key performance indicators (KPIs) on racial justice, environmental racism, and workplace equity disclosure. In addition, the scorecards identify best practices, encourage corporate leadership and inform shareholder advocacy. As You Sow is a nation-leading shareholder advocacy nonprofit, with a 30-year track record promoting environmental and social corporate responsibility and advancing values-aligned investing.
