Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

At SJI, We Operate as OneSJI

As OneSJI, we know we’re better together. We’re committed to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in our organization as well as in the communities we are proud to serve. To ensure it remains at the focus of what we do every day – Inclusion is a core value for who we are as OneSJI, united under a collective vision, purpose and ambition.

We strive to deliver safe, reliable, and affordable energy to more than 700,000 customers across 14 New Jersey counties – a population diverse in experience, background and thought. To best grow our business and serve our communities, we believe our company should reflect that diversity with a culture rooted in care and belonging.

Our commitment to DEI goes beyond who we are. It’s also about how we operate. It’s how we serve our customers, support our communities, work together, and perform our jobs. Together, we’ve taken measurable steps to support our commitment to DEI and we continue to expand on what our commitment means for us in our changing world. Our efforts are centered on three key areas of focus: Talent, Community Partnerships and Supplier Diversity.

Life at SJI

During my career at SJI, I have been part of the accelerated pipeline replacement projects in many communities. The investments SJI and SJG have made to provide safe, reliable and affordable energy is what makes me proud to be part of this company. I look forward to being part of the future growth as One SJI under one Collective Ambition.

I appreciate the opportunities that SJI has provided to support my career in the field of health and safety. SJI operates with safety as a core value for our customers and employees. Our leadership team is dedicated to building a strong safety culture through mutual trust and collaboration. I am proud to be part of this organization and excited to see what the future holds for SJI.

Stephanie Farley
Director, Safety

When I was looking for my next opportunity, I wanted to be with an organization that serviced the greater good of the community and one where I could actively participate in that mission. In my time here, SJI has recognized me for my contributions as well as given me the ability to ensure that our suppliers and employees’ communities have equal footing in their pursuit of success.
