About Pacific Gas and Electric
What motivates our workforce of 20,000? Simple: Knowing that 15 million Californians count on us to ensure instant access to energy, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This is our core commitment as a reliable energy provider. But we also recognize that truly coming through for our customers is about much more.
It’s about knowing our customers’ needs and helping them find the smartest solutions for lowering their energy use and reducing costs. It’s about being an environmental leader and making clean energy choices that are right today and offer answers to tomorrow’s challenges. It’s about giving back to our communities to keep them healthy and strong, especially in times of need.
Delivering on these promises takes vision, discipline, tenacity, skill, dedication and teamwork from incredibly talented people. And that’s what working at PG&E is all about.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB)


  • PG&E continues to employ a higher percentage of women and minorities in our workforce than the national average for gas and electric companies, but our benchmarking doesn’t stop there.  
  • At PG&E, we are committed to making DEIB integral to all that we do and representing the broad diversity of the communities we serve. 
  • We ensure that our employees always feel safe on the job, that their voices and ideas are heard and that everyone experiences a sense of belonging at PG&E. 
  • As a company we closely monitor how we fill our jobs and bring greater awareness to those openings while continuing to develop interventions in the selection process we follow to fill them.  

What It Means To Us


From day one at PG&E all employees are grounded in the company’s commitment to and definitions of DEIB at new employee orientation; 


Diversity is characterized by all the ways in which we are different. It is present in our job functions, work styles, experiences, and ideas. Diversity cultivates new perspectives and innovation, which enable us to exceed the expectations of our customers, employees, and shareholders.  


Inclusion at PG&E is the process of leveraging the power of our employees’ individual uniqueness to achieve our business strategies and goals, be better corporate citizens, and be the best in the industry. 


It Starts with Why - Keeping It Real


Nothing demonstrates the impact of diversity as powerfully as a personal story. Taking the time to listen and learn more from one another is one of the most inclusive things any of us do. In 2018 PG&E began a storytelling campaign that continues today. More than 300 employees at all levels have participated. Above is a powerful example and look for more to be added on a regular basis. Diversity includes everyone and everyone can speak up by telling their story!  


Employee Networks


Yesterday –PG&E Employee Networks began as early pioneers, dating back almost five decades, creating an environment where every employee could feel welcome at the company. A spirit of belonging is in our DNA. 


Today - The Networks serve as national role models by providing programming and a lens of diversity that informs ways PG&E can further drive its culture of belonging and inclusion among our workforce and across our communities 


Tomorrow – Our Networks continue to play a vital role in the company’s overall business success, through workforce development and talent pipelines. They assist in welcoming and mentoring new employees, providing professional and career workshops, social networking events, community support and scholarships through a vital spirit of collaboration.
