Diversity and Inclusion at SSB Gas

At SSB Gas, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where every individual is valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. Our goal is to ensure that both our employees and customers are treated with fairness, empathy, and integrity.

Our Commitment to Inclusion

Inclusion is one of our core values, shaping how we operate daily. We understand that fairness does not mean treating everyone the same, but rather recognizing individual needs and ensuring equal opportunities for all. We actively listen to diverse voices and continuously improve our practices to create an environment where everyone feels heard and appreciated.

An inclusive culture benefits both our employees and customers by enhancing engagement, improving decision-making, fostering innovation, and ensuring better service delivery.

Key Principles We Stand By

✔ Inclusion

Cultivating a workplace where everyone feels comfortable, valued, and empowered to be themselves.

✔ Diversity

Embracing differences in backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

✔ Equality

Ensuring fair treatment and eliminating discrimination, harassment, or victimization.

✔ Equity

Removing barriers and recognizing that different people may need different support to achieve equal opportunities.

Our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy

We have developed a comprehensive Diversity and Inclusion Strategy that outlines our approach to achieving these goals. The latest version (2024-2026) focuses on broadening the scope of our efforts, being data-driven, and ensuring equity in the workplace and the communities we serve.

Our strategy is built around four key objectives:

Understanding Our Customers – Building strong relationships with our customers and recognizing their diverse needs.
Attracting, Retaining, and Developing Diverse Talent – Ensuring our workforce represents the communities we serve.
Providing Accessible and Inclusive Services – Removing barriers and ensuring equitable outcomes for employees and customers.
Embedding an Inclusive Culture – Creating an environment where differences are celebrated, and everyone can reach their full potential.

Governance and Accountability

The delivery of our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy is overseen by key leadership teams and monitored through regular reporting to our executive board. We assess progress quarterly and renew our plans annually to ensure continuous improvement.

We actively monitor protected characteristics as defined by the Equality Act 2010, including:
✔ Age
✔ Disability
✔ Gender Reassignment
