Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Fund

Within each of these strategic focus areas, we consider opportunities through a lens of diversity, equity and inclusion. Recognizing the important value this lens adds, Emera and its operating companies launched the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Fund in February 2021. Through this fund, we will collectively invest a minimum of $5 million over five years to support organizations and initiatives advancing inclusion and diversity in our communities. To date, we have invested more than $3 million across our operating regions. This fund is reflective of Emera’s journey towards an inclusive and diverse culture, supported by active inclusion and diversity employee networks across the organization.
