Ranking 235 on the list, NiSource was in the top 10 for Energy Companies

NiSource has been recognized on the Forbes list of Best Employers for Diversity 2023. The listing recognizes companies who provide an environment that fosters diversity, equity and inclusion, including the presence of resource groups within the company, the publication of diversity data and the share of women in board and executive positions.

The Best Employers for Diversity were selected based on a survey from approximately 45,000 U.S. employees working for companies with a minimum of 1,000 employees.

“We are honored to be named to Forbes’ Best Employers for Diversity 2023 list,” said Lloyd Yates, President & CEO of NiSource.  “This recognition is a testament to our focus on promoting inclusive behaviors and values, both internally and externally. By adhering to these values, we can cultivate an inclusive, more rewarding environment for our own employees and business partners.”

Evaluation Criteria for the Award:

• Direct recommendations: Employees were asked to give their opinions on a series of statements regarding Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Disability, LGBTQA+ & General Diversity in their current workplace. The recommendations of women, elders, and ethnic minorities were weighted higher than the non-minority groups.
• Indirect Recommendations: Participants were also given the chance to evaluate other employers in their respective industries that stand out either positively or negatively with regard to diversity. Only the recommendations of minority groups were considered.
• KPIs: Extensive research was carried out to evaluate how companies fared across a range of diversity-related best-practices. These included things like the presence of resource groups within the company, the publication of diversity data, and the share of women in board and executive positions.
