HOUSTON, April 4, 2023 /CSRwire/ – The Baker Hughes Foundation announced Monday a total of $270,000 in grants to nonprofit organizations (NPOs) that promote diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). The recipient NPOs were nominated by Baker Hughes global employee resource groups (ERGs), who have joined together based on shared interests, characteristics or life experiences.
Baker Hughes believes unique ideas and perspectives fuel innovation and our differences make us stronger. ERGs provide a sense of connection with members being active volunteers in their communities. These groups have built strong partnerships with many nonprofits across the globe to drive social change for some of the world’s toughest challenges including education, opportunity and equality.
Below are some of the charities awarded grants to drive impact in their communities:
“Giving our employees a voice is critical and drives change by elevating the conversation, creating awareness, and engaging with the communities where we conduct business,” said Baker Hughes Chief Culture and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer Nicole Durham. “We strive to be an inclusive workplace where employees know their voices are heard.”
This is the second consecutive year that the Baker Hughes Foundation has issued grants to charities nominated by ERGs. These grants support the Foundation’s mission to promote education, opportunity, diversity, equity and inclusion. This donation also supports Baker Hughes’ commitment to advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
