scorecards, Eversource ranks 5th and 17th across all sectors on
each scorecard respectively, resulting in the energy company’s
recognition by As You Sow as a “Top 10” company overall. Together,
the scorecards demonstrate Eversource’s leadership in transparently
advancing workplace DE&I programs and initiatives consistent

“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
