National Hispanic Heritage Month
Hispanic Heritage Month
Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American Citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America.
The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Regan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988.
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Diverse is Who We Are
Diversity is an integral part of who we are and how we operate. Our employees reflect the rich diversity of central and Southern California, and we play an active role within the diverse communities around us. At SCE, we believe diversity is about capitalizing on the strengths of everyone, empowering people, and promoting the human spirit.
Cultural Awareness & Outreach
Our Employee Resource/Business Resource Groups (ERG/BRG) are employee-led, voluntary organizations that represent a range of cultures, traditions, ethnicities, sexual orientation, genders and generations that help promote cultural awareness and diversity in the workplace. ERGs/BRGs offer opportunities for employees to build relationships, learn from others’ experiences and reach out in the diverse communities where our employees live and work.
