Why signing up to Pride 365 is important to us?
As an energy supplier that was created with the mission to offer consumers better service and a fairer deal, people have always been at the centre of all we do, so promoting an inclusive environment for both our customers and staff is incredibly important to us.
That’s why we’re making a pledge to Pride 365 to ensure that everyone feels welcome and valued at Utilita, not just for a day, a week or month, but all year round. We will be public and open in our support for the LGBTQ+ community and hope that through our support to both Pride 365 and the Stonewall charity, that everyone will feel, and more importantly, be equal at Utilita 365 days a year.
How does the Pride 365 pledge fit in with Utilita’s core values?
We feel that our core values align perfectly with our goal to improve inclusivity in the workplace at Utilita and, just like our values, we will demonstrate our commitment to our pledge daily.
Not only do we live by our core company values of fairness, respect and being supportive, but we also have a focus on boldness – meaning that we’ve never been afraid to go against the grain. It is vital to us that we always challenge anything we don’t agree with, in order to create a better environment for our customers, staff, and wider society.
