Belonging at OVO.
Happy. Respected. Supported. These are the things we want everyone to feel. Because at OVO, you can be your whole self. No matter how you think, who you love, your beliefs, your age, how your body works, or what gender you identify as.
We're determined to make OVO a place where everyone feels they belong. Not just because it's the right thing to do. But also because a more diverse, inclusive team is a better, happier one.
Our teams and our incredible Belonging Networks work hard every day to make this a reality. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made and of all the initiatives we introduced to make OVO a truly inclusive, respectful and accessible place for all. Use the tiles below to explore what each of our Networks do and you’ll find more information about relevant resources too.
You can also check out our Belonging approach, Belonging Podcast series, and annual Belonging reports: 2021, 2022, 2023.
And you don’t have to take our word for it. We’ve won some brilliant awards to show what diversity means to us at OVO.
We are a Disability Confident leader and proud to support candidates with disabilities, including those who are neurodivergent or have mental health conditions. We work closely with the Business Disability Forum and as proud members of the Disability Confident Scheme, we encourage those applicants with disabilities to opt-in during our application process. Please note that this doesn’t guarantee an interview, but we are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all.
If you would like us to make any adjustments to the application or interview process, there will be space on the application form to let us know what you need. We want to ensure the process is as easy and comfortable for you as possible. If you need any help or advice prior to applying, please email us at Belonging@ovo.com
