Company signs White House Equal Pay Pledge and
joins Paradigm for Parity Coalition
Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today announced that it has
endorsed two national initiatives focused on gender parity in
compensation practices and corporate leadership. The company has
committed to the White House Equal Pay Pledge and joined the
Paradigm for Parity Coalition.
In signing the White House Equal Pay Pledge, Edison
International joins more than 100 U.S. companies that have vowed to
work toward reducing the national gender wage gap. By signing the
pledge, companies commit to conducting an annual company-wide
gender pay analysis across all positions, reviewing hiring and
promotion processes and procedures to reduce unconscious bias and
structural barriers, and embedding equal pay efforts into broader
equity initiatives.
The company also joined the Paradigm for Parity Coalition, an
initiative by CEOs, board members, founders and senior executives
representing major industries in the U.S. who are committed to
accelerating the pace of gender equity in senior executive roles
and on corporate boards. The Coalition has created an action plan
for gender parity in corporate leadership, laying out proactive
steps for companies to take in order to curb workplace inequality.
The Paradigm for Parity Coalition includes CEOs of 27 U.S.
companies.
“We are proud to be one of the first two electric utility
companies to sign the White House Equal Pay Pledge, and we are
delighted to join the Paradigm for Parity Coalition,” said Pedro
Pizarro, president and chief executive officer of Edison
International. “At Edison International, we understand that
diversity of thought is fueled by diversity of people engaged in an
inclusive work environment. We encourage other companies to join in
these efforts.”
Edison International has a long standing commitment to equal
opportunity. The ability of Edison International to attract, retain
and develop a diverse workforce allows it to better reflect the
diversity of the communities it serves, and ensures that equity and
inclusion benefits both the company and its customers.
