(PRESS RELEASE) ROTTERDAM, 10-Jul-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Eneco has achieved a score of 48% in the Workplace Pride Global Benchmark 2025, marking one of the strongest year-on-year improvements in the area of LGBTIQ+ workplace inclusion.

The result reflects the progress Eneco has made since joining the Workplace Pride Benchmark in late 2024. The benchmark is an international, evidence-based standard used to assess LGBTIQ+ inclusion across the business sector.

Diversity, equity and inclusion are embedded in Eneco’s corporate strategy. The company works actively to create a safe and inclusive workplace where employees feel heard, valued and able to be themselves.

Over the past year, Eneco has introduced and strengthened several initiatives focused on LGBTIQ+ inclusion. These include improvements to internal policies, employment benefits and communications, as well as broader efforts to raise awareness across the organisation.

The company said this work will continue in 2025 with further measures, including the introduction of inclusive parental leave and preparations for transgender leave.

Eneco views diversity, equity and inclusion as important not only for its employees, but also for its customers and for the company’s wider role in society.

Through its mission of “Everyone’s sustainable energy”, Eneco believes that different perspectives, backgrounds and experiences are essential to the success of the energy transition. The company sees inclusion as part of building a stronger organisation and supporting a more sustainable future.
