Employment Diversity
 
Introduction

At South Jersey Industries, we are committed to being the energy company of first choice for our customers and employees. Our primary customer base consists of residents from the seven southernmost New Jersey counties that include a wide variety of demographic differences. Similarly, we strive to reflect this diversity in our workforce and organizational culture.

SJI’s Supplier Diversity Program is another example of our commitment to diversity and inclusion. We value the contributions of a diverse array of suppliers to support SJI’s team in providing exceptional customer services and products. Additionally, our Supplier Diversity Program aims to increase opportunities for retailers while expanding the number of women and minority owned vendors with whom we do business.

As Chairman and CEO, I remain firmly committed to promoting diversity through all of SJI’s business lines and look forward to expanding our Supplier Diversity Program by further embracing and developing this important initiative.

Supplier Diversity Program

Continued success depends on our ability to achieve business objectives. Our suppliers are integral to those objectives. The Supplier Diversity Program looks to expand these relationships with women and minority owned vendors that provide competitive prices and services to SJI. We believe that building a more diverse supplier base will help us to better serve our customers and remain competitive in a deregulated environment.

SJI is proud to be a member of the BPU Supplier Diversity Development Council, which is dedicated to forging effective working relationships between minority and woman-owned businesses and New Jersey public utilities. Recently, SJI was awarded the Economic Impact Award presented by the SDDC at their annual conference.
