Information about this report and the definitions used therein, and links to other reports, including this report’s 2020 version.

This report represents Dominion Energy’s effort to share our performance on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

In doing so, we want to transparently illustrate what’s working and identify gaps we need to address.

The report focuses on the activities of Dominion Energy and the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation in 2021. Where relevant or helpful for context, it includes historical or forward-looking information.

The report highlights workforce representation broken down by race/ethnicity and gender. The company also discloses our EEO-1 Form data in the report.

Changes in workforce representation data related to demographics, hiring, and departures reflect both deliberate workforce policies and the results of mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures unconnected to DE&I efforts.
