diversity and inclusion

Chevron is committed to fostering diversity and inclusion at all levels of our company. It is a cornerstone of our corporate values of high performance, integrity, trust, partnership, and protecting people and the environment. We know that hiring and retaining individuals with an array of talents, ideas and experiences propels the innovation that drives our success. A diverse workforce and inclusive culture help us strengthen areas that need improvement and inspire creative solutions. We believe the attention given to diversity and inclusion makes us more agile, trustworthy and innovative.

Chevron’s diversity and inclusion programs aim to foster a truly inclusive workplace that encourages more meaningful engagement among all employees to strengthen our performance.

In 2020, Chevron made a $15 million pledge to support the Black community in the United States to address barriers to equity. We continue to address racial barriers through education, job creation, talent and leadership development, and community and small business partnerships.

Since establishing our formal racial equity plan, we have progressed the following initiatives:

Our employee networks bring essential value to the business. In 2018, more than 19,000 employees — more than 40 percent of our regular workforce — participated in our employee networks:

• Asian Employee Network
• Black Employee Network
• Boola Moort Employee Network (Indigenous Australian focused)
• ENABLED Employee Network (ENhancing ABilities and LEveraging Disabilities)
• Filipino Employee Network
• Native American Employee Network
• PRIDE Employee Network (Promoting Respect, Inclusion & Dignity for Everyone)
• Somos Employee Network (Latin America and Hispanic)
• Stages Employee Network (Mid and Late career)
• Veterans Employee Network
• Women’s Employee Network
• XYZ Employee Network (Early and Mid career)

Our Chairman’s Inclusion Council provides employee network presidents with a direct line of communication to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Human Resources Officer, the Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, and the enterprise leadership team. The council allows executives and network presidents to collaborate and discuss how employee networks can reinforce Chevron’s values of diversity and inclusion.

We invest in our workforce and culture, with the objective of engaging employees to develop their full potential to deliver energy solutions and enable human progress. We promote a culture of feedback within the workforce and develop leaders to sustain and strengthen our culture for the future.

We regularly conduct employee surveys to assess the health of the company culture. Recent surveys indicate high employee engagement. Our survey frequency enables us to better understand employee sentiment through-out the year and gain insights into employee well-being. For the latest figures, view the 2022 Supplement to the Annual Report.

Our development programs are designed to help people achieve their full potential, accelerate leadership capabilities and cultivate a diverse and robust talent pipeline in an ever-changing work environment.

Because Chevron believes in developing leaders at all levels, we aim to grow workforce leadership through a variety of programs, including:
