Abstract
Presented on Wednesday 18 May: Session 11
As an energy technology company, our success is deeply linked with the creativity and engagement of our people. At Baker Hughes, we foster this through working to build a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment where everyone can bring their authentic selves and talents. A focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is increasingly prioritised among the investor community and is a critical component of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) work. At a global level, Baker Hughes has four strategic DEI goals that guide us on our DEI journey: Diverse Workforce, Inclusive Culture, Supplier Diversity, and Customer and Community. This paper reviews how these strategic goals are being actioned in Australia through our community engagement, industry collaboration, multicultural education, and employee resource groups. These actions have supported employees through the challenges of 2020, boosted morale, empowered teamwork, and enhanced relationships with our peers. These initiatives include environmental volunteering, coding for kids STEM events, an internal ‘culture shock’ series, and targeted donations following recent bushfires. These and other initiatives can be shared and scaled across companies or industries.
