Essential Utilities (NYSE: WTRG) is honored as a Champion of
Board Diversity by The Forum of Executive Women for the fifth year
since 2016. Essential is one of 37 companies from the Greater
Philadelphia area recognized for paving the way for gender
equity.
The Forum annually analyzes the leadership of the top 100 public
companies in the region and recognizes companies with at least 30
percent of their respective boards comprised of women as Champions
of Board Diversity.
“Our intentional focus on board diversity ladders up to our
broader diversity efforts, and our strong belief that our teams and
suppliers must reflect the diverse communities we serve,” said
Christopher Franklin, chairman and CEO of Essential Utilities.
“We’re proud of the strides Essential’s made that are reflected by
this Champion of Board Diversity honor. More importantly, we are
committed to continuing to work towards greater equity and
inclusion.”
In 2022, Essential received the Champion of Board Diversity
recognition by The Forum of Executive Women along with a "3+"
status from 50/50 Women on Boards, signifying at least three board
seats held by women. Essential’s water segment, Aqua, was
previously honored as a Champion of Board Diversity in 2016, 2019
and 2021. Aqua was also named a 2020 “W” Company from Women on
Boards for having 20 percent or more of its board seats held by
women.
The Forum of Executive Women, founded in 1977, is a membership
organization that unites 600 senior female leaders from various
sectors to empower women's influence in the workplace throughout
the region.
In September, Essential announced in its 2022 Environmental,
Social and Governance Report that the company met key supplier and
employee diversity goals and made key progress on its environmental
commitments.
