PGE's definition of diversity
Diversity at PGE is recognizing and respecting individual differences, and creating common ground that encourages each of us — individually and collectively — to realize our full potential.
We promote diversity by appreciating the many types of differences in people, and believing that bringing together varied approaches, cultures and views to solve our workplace issues will result in the highest quality results. This applies to our hiring practices, day-to-day business activities and after-hours employee programs.
