What Equity Means at Southern Company and Eversource Energy

How energy and utilities companies show up in their communities takes thoughtful and hard work these days. That is because companies realize the importance of the workforce reflecting those communities in which they serve, and yet it is so much more.

But realizing importance and achievement are two different things, because there are layers involved in equity. Equity involves employees, yes, but all stakeholders in a service territory, as well as weaving together issues surrounding the environment, economics, education, and more.

Public Utilities Fortnightly brought together three experts on equity issues, who have dedicated their lives to this endeavor and have powerful voices on the subject. Listen in on these conversations with Southern Company's Jonathan Porter and Eversource Energy's Theresa Hopkins-Staten, led by Larry Glover.
