Inclusion and diversity

Imperial is committed to building and sustaining a diverse workforce. Diversity strengthens us by promoting unique viewpoints and challenges each of us to think beyond our traditional frames of reference. We do not see diversity as a stand-alone activity; it is embedded in our core values, our approach to how we develop talent, and the culture to which we aspire and is codified in our Diversity Framework.

We leverage diversity to create competitive advantage, enabling teams and individuals to be more innovative, resilient, and better equipped to navigate the complex and evolving global energy landscape. 

Employee Resource Groups

Imperial encourages participation in our employee resource groups. These groups support recruitment efforts, onboarding new employees, skills development through networking and mentoring, and support furthering inclusion objectives through awareness on relevant workplace topics. Each of our employee resource groups has a senior leader sponsor.

The company’s employee resource groups include:

  • Asian Connection for Excellence
  • Black Employee Success Team
  • Global Organization for the Advancement of Latinos
  • Indigenous Network
  • PRIDE
  • Women’s Interest Network
  • Veteran’s Advocacy and Support Team
  • The company also has an ABLE employee network, which supports members of our workforce with disabilities.
