“At Avangrid, we deeply value the service and sacrifice of our military community,” said Avangrid CEO Jose Antonio Miranda. “Earning the Military Friendly Employer designation is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive workplace where veterans and service members can thrive. We’re proud to support their transition to civilian careers and to foster an inclusive environment that honors their leadership, resilience, and dedication.”

This includes Avangrid’s military policy, which supports and assists those in the uniformed services by providing pay and benefits that exceed federal requirements.

Additionally, Avangrid has an employee resource group—AVAN-Veterans—dedicated to promoting career development and enrichment for Avangrid employees who have served. This group is open to all employees and provides community building, networking, and professional development.
