The Power of Us
A culture of inclusion is a core business value that creates understanding, sparks innovation and allows us to better serve our customers. We are committed to creating an impactful and equitable experience for our employees, our shareholders, our customers and our community.
Our Vision
We believe inclusion is a powerful force that enhances our ability to serve our employees, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. We are committed to fostering a culture that values and celebrates individual differences and their positive impact.
Our Plan
At AEP, we believe in doing the right thing every time for our customers and each other. We recognize that inclusion helps us better serve our employees, customers, suppliers, and other key stakeholders.
As a strategic priority, our commitment to inclusion efforts is guided by three principles:
- Leadership Accountability
Ensure leaders are held accountable for fostering an inclusive environment and culture - Inclusive Workplace
Promote an inclusive culture where ALL employees can thrive - Community Well-Being
Support the communities we serve so they will prosper
Our Strategy in Action
We are proud to cultivate an environment of inclusivity that enables our team members to take an active role in our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). These groups focus on promoting a sense of community and understanding within our workplace, as well as attracting and retaining a diverse talent pool, all while identifying ways to give back to our community through volunteerism. We firmly believe that by harnessing the varied talents and perspectives of our team, we can establish a workplace culture that is both enriching and meaningful.
