Sempra has been named one of the top 100 'America's Best Employers for Diversity' by Forbes for 2022.

said Mitch Mitchell, Sempra's senior vice president of diversity and community partnerships.

"With a business footprint spanning from Los Angeles to Mexico City and North Texas, our workforce is a mosaic of different cultures, lived experiences, and shared values - all focused on meeting the ever-changing needs of all stakeholders and the communities we serve."

Promoting Diversity in its Businesses and Communities

Sempra is committed to creating a high-performance culture that empowers its employees by allowing them to reach their full potential while delivering long-term value that benefits the company, customers, and all stakeholders.

The diverse and inclusive environment at the company extends to the communities it serves. In 2021, the Sempra family of companies and the Sempra Foundation will align their community investments around four key priorities: climate action, diversity and inclusion, economic prosperity, and energy access, investing in over 1,650 nonprofit organizations, nearly three-quarters of which will support diverse or underserved communities. More than $1.9 billion in goods and services were purchased from businesses owned by women, minorities, service-disabled veterans, and the LGBTQ+ community by its California utilities, San Diego Gas & Electric and Southern California Gas Co., in 2021, marking the ninth consecutive year that each company's supplier diversity spending exceeded 40% of total spending on goods and services.

Forbes' ranking was determined by an independent survey of 50,000 employees from major corporations in the United States. Respondents were asked about their employers' practices in terms of age, gender equality, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, and general diversity. The ranking also took into account diversity on the board of directors and executive teams, as well as the most proactive diversity and inclusion initiatives.
