Houston, Texas, Nov. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Houston-based EDP Renewables North America (EDPR NA), a leading renewable energy developer and operator in North America, is pleased to announce it has been named a Top Workplace by the Houston Chronicle through the publication’s 2022 Top Workplaces Awards for the Houston Metro Area. EDPR NA has also been honored with two Culture Excellence Awards for its diversity, equity, and inclusion practices and for being a woman-led company.
This year’s award is the sixth time EDPR NA has received the Top Workplaces honor. The Top Workplaces Awards are an annual honor and based entirely on employee feedback shared through a workplace survey. Data is collected from more than 27 million surveys at more than 70,000 organizations with fewer than 3% of eligible organizations earning a placement—a testimony to the work that EDPR NA does and its support of its employees.
With more than 950 employees spanning 17 states nationwide, as well as in Canada and Mexico, EDPR NA is dedicated to continuing to invest in its employees as well as its clean energy projects throughout North America. EDPR NA’s diverse team comprises four generational cohorts (Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, Millennials, and Gen-Z) and 18 nationalities. The company’s employees live, work, and volunteer in Houston, where its corporate headquarters are located, eight regional offices throughout the continent, and in the communities where its projects are hosted, while also investing locally and connecting with residents. EDPR NA’s culture within its communities is a sign of the culture success within the company.
“The dedication and passion of our mission-driven and motivated EDP Renewables team is unmatched. Our people are our single greatest asset and make our workplace welcoming and fun as we work together to be at the forefront of energy transition,” said Sandhya Ganapathy, EDP Renewables North America CEO. “Receiving a Top Workplaces Award is a great honor – especially because it comes directly from our employees. I am proud of this award and proud to work at EDP Renewables.”
The company's vision, “leading the energy transition to create superior value,” highlights both its commitment to a greener and more sustainable future and to the creation of superior value for all. This dedication shines through in the company’s culture, as evidenced by this employee-generated recognition.
