Intren, First Utility Solution Provider in Nation to Support CEO Action
Kelly Tomblin joins over 800 leading CEO’s in pledge to support diversity, equality and inclusion
INTREN, a leading provider of innovative utility solutions, today announced that Kelly Tomblin, the company’s Chief Executive Officer has signed the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ pledge (CEO Action). CEO Action is the largest CEO-driven business commitment for advancing diversity and inclusion in the workplace. INTREN is the first utility contractor to participate in this global pledge.
Kelly Tomblin commented, “Diversity and Inclusion is a business development and talent retention strategy for innovation, creativity and advanced customer solutions. We’re now taking it one step further and adding ‘Equality’ to our commitment. In today’s business environment, it’s no longer just the right thing to do. When you articulate your business strategy as including a talent strategy, it has more teeth and affects every value and every aspect of our company.”
In continuing the legacy of INTREN’s owner, Loretta Rosenmayer, Tomblin actively demonstrates a steadfast commitment to building on the company’s DEI mission: to lead the industry in diversity, equality and inclusion by advocating for a workforce that reflects and embraces the diversity within the communities they serve, the nation, and the world.
“Company legacies should never end. They must continue to grow with each new experience we have and carry our company to our next phase of growth” stated Tomblin. “This pledge is our next step, and CEO Action clearly proves our actions across the business community to accelerate sharing, accountability and impact. At each step we take, we will continue to identify our unconscious bias, which in turn will provide us with greater clarity and depth of thought to further improve our commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion.”
By working with top executive leaders throughout the country, INTREN will continue to drive accountability and progress to reinforce the principle of shared learning. They will also take part in forums to elevate the Diversity, Equality and Inclusion conversation to their board through concrete, strategic action plans to accelerate their commitments to CEO Action.
