UGI Stands Against Racial Inequality
A message from our President and CEO John Walsh
As an organization, we stand in solidarity with the black community and in the fight to end systematic racism. Change does not happen overnight, but with committed leadership, listening and learning from those who have been disadvantaged, and a sincere belief to do what’s right, we can succeed and make a difference for future generations.
The senseless deaths of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and Rayshard Brooks have highlighted the extreme injustices in our society. All of us have felt a range of emotions as we have dealt with this news. We recognize the immense responsibility we have to do more.
As I process my own thoughts and feelings in these challenging times, I have found myself drawn to several of our Company’s core values, particularly, our values focused on Respect and Integrity. While all six of our values are intertwined, these particular values speak directly to relationships and how we respect and care for each other, our customers and for the residents in the multitude of communities we serve in the U.S. and in Europe. It is the bond of unity that supports us and holds us together.
The diversity in the communities where we live and work provides us with an important source of strength and is something that we value about the communities we serve. Respecting our differences, embracing our diversity and engaging others with integrity and inclusion are critically important behaviors, particularly as we work together to address the economic and social divisions in our country.
UGI continues to seek out opportunities to have deeper, more impactful engagements with the communities we serve. As described in this report, we have a strong tradition of working to deliver support in areas such as childhood literacy, health and wellness, and safety, among others. As recent events have unfolded, it has become clear that UGI also has an opportunity to align itself with organizations that strive to eliminate racial injustice. Additionally, we understand that we have work to do at UGI. We will intensify our focus on the representation and inclusion of minorities across our businesses, with a goal that our workforce accurately represents the communities in which we operate. As a company and as leaders, we will do better in these critical areas.
At UGI, we are committed to rededicating ourselves to being kind and to expressing our care and concern in our actions toward each other, and to those around us. We strive to demonstrate our values of Respect and Integrity in our daily actions and activities. Real change begins when people join together and care for one another. UGI remains committed to doing our part, and working towards being a positive presence for all of our stakeholders as we deal with the major challenges facing our society. I ask all UGI employees to join me in living all of our core values each and every day.
