At ENGIE, we have long been building an environment where every employee feels welcome, respected and supported. DEI (Diversity, Equality and Inclusion) – for us, these are not just concepts, but a real way of working that translates into everyday interactions, culture and relationships.
Why is DEI important for ENGIE?
In our experience, it is the diversity of opinions, generations and working styles that makes our teams stronger and more creative.
DEI helps us:
- improve cooperation,
- strengthen interpersonal relations and trust,
- build a culture where everyone is heard and respected,
- improve the quality of both cooperation and results.
Open communication and breaking down prejudices
We regularly organise internal campaigns, education and communication activities that promote open dialogue on DEI-related topics. We encourage colleagues to ask questions, share their views and support each other. In this way, we foster an environment where differences are seen as an enrichment, not a hindrance.
Promoting gender equality
In our segment, we still perceive that technical professions attract fewer women. That’s why we actively support women in their professional development, education and in expanding their opportunities. Their professional approach, empathy, sense of teamwork and precision enrich our teams.
Linking generations
Our teams are made up of different generations and each of them brings a different added value. The younger colleagues bring energy and new ideas, the older ones experience, stability and generational perspective. We carefully create a space where both sides can learn from each other and where everyone has the opportunity to excel in their own way.
Promoting an inclusive culture in everyday practice
At ENGIE, an inclusive culture is created through small but important everyday gestures:
- listen to others and ask questions,
- to give space for comments,
- to encourage a colleague,
- respect differences.
This is how we build an environment where everyone feels valuable and has the opportunity to be themselves.
At ENIGE, we believe that what unites us is stronger than what divides us. For us, DEI is a pathway to even better collaboration, higher performance and creating an inclusive workplace for all.
