Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging

At our core, we believe that unique ideas and diverse perspectives are the driving forces behind innovation. Our differences make us stronger. We value diversity in all its forms—gender, race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, cultural background, religion, veteran status, experience, thought, and more—across the globe. We recognize that diverse teams, an equitable workplace, and an inclusive culture are essential for driving innovation and maintaining our competitive edge. These elements are critical to our business success and our mission of advancing energy solutions for our customers and the industry. Our Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging strategic framework empowers us to recruit and retain the best talent, foster an inclusive culture, and strengthen our partnerships with customers and communities. As we continue to prioritize attracting, retaining and developing the best talent, we are dedicated to making meaningful progress across our organization, with a particular focus on inclusivity and belonging. Together, we are building a stronger, more innovative future.

In 2024, the percentage of people who identify as women in our workforce, senior leadership positions, and on the Board of Directors ("the Board"), was 20%, 19%, and 33%, respectively. Specific to the U.S., 39% of our employees identify as people of color.

We work to ensure we have access to and support strengthening our talent pipeline across the globe while prioritizing development and retention. We hold leadership accountable for integrating our Baker Hughes culture and behaviors into their respective parts of the business. Our enterprise-wide talent strategy allows us to measure the outcomes and progress of our efforts, assign goals, develop accountability, and ensure transparency. Our corporate memberships with respected nonprofits, such as Ally Energy, Catalyst, Disability:IN, and the Women's Energy Network, provide partnership and guidance to support our goals. Our talent acquisition efforts as well as our eight global employee resource groups support the engagement, development and retention of talent across the organization.
