“Diversity and inclusion is an ongoing journey. We are grateful for EGYPS’ recognition of our work, but it’s important at every step to continue re-thinking and re-tooling to ensure our progress at Chevron continues,” adds Josetta Jones, chief diversity and inclusion officer at Chevron. “For more than 25 years, diversity and inclusion have been at the top of our core values called the Chevron Way. Our business success depends on engaging people with different ways of thinking, different life experiences and different backgrounds, and an inclusive environment where everyone’s voice can be heard.”
