Southwire's 2025 Inclusion Report: A Commitment to Diversity and Community

Southwire Company, based in Carrollton, Georgia, recently unveiled its 2025 Inclusion Report, emphasizing its commitment to creating an inclusive culture. As part of their core values, Southwire believes that inclusion directly contributes to building value for its team members, customers, communities, and shareholders.

In their latest report, Southwire showcased progress across six critical focus areas: People Leaders, Inclusive Workforce, Employee Resource Groups, Reputation and Community, Equity and Governance, and Value and Supply Chain. This holistic approach illustrates the company's dedication to fostering an environment where diversity thrives and all individuals can contribute meaningfully.

One of the highlights of the report is the significant improvement in the Inclusion Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), which soared to 70, marking an increase of 17 points since 2021. This positive trend reflects the company's efforts in creating a supportive workplace that empowers its employees.

In 2025, Southwire allocated a remarkable $1 million to initiatives aimed at enhancing inclusion within the company and the communities it serves. This financial commitment underscores their belief that businesses can play a crucial role in driving social change. Alongside this investment, the company facilitated over 4,800 volunteer hours to support various nonprofit organizations, showcasing the team's willingness to give back to the community.

Moreover, Southwire's commitment to diversity extends to its supplier partnerships, where it spent approximately $890 million engaging with small and certified-owned suppliers, further supporting economic inclusivity.

The company's community involvement was further highlighted during the Include Summit, which brought together more than 2,000 team members to celebrate diversity and share insights on fostering an inclusive culture. This event was not only a testament to Southwire's commitment but also an opportunity for employees to engage and learn from one another.

In 2025, Southwire has earned accolades as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies® and as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Inclusion. Such recognitions validate their ongoing efforts and commitment toward an inclusive future.
