During their conversation, Matt sheds light on being part of a team, what it takes to foster a positive and productive team culture, and how these lessons translate into effective leadership.

At Southern Company, in the spirit of Black History Month, we are using good energy to foster equity and create opportunities for a brighter tomorrow. 

We’ve been building upon years of dedicated work in diversity and inclusion.
In 2020, we developed our equity framework, Moving to Equity, to ensure our actions help lead to sustained change. 

Our impact last year includes:

- Enhancing our hiring practices
- Increasing representation for both people of color and women
- Refreshing Our Values with a renewed emphasis on intentional inclusion 
- Onboarding more diverse suppliers
- Engaging and forming partnerships with organizations that actively   promote justice and positive change 
- Investing $201 million to drive social change in our communities since 2020

Our work is not episodic, every day we are continuing to identify the obstacles and opportunities that lie ahead as we move boldly forward in our equity journey.

In 2022, Renee Powell was recognized as the inaugural recipient of the ‘Charlie Sifford Award presented by Southern Company’.

The Charlie Sifford Award was created in 2021 by the World Golf Hall of Fame to honor an individual who personifies Sifford’s groundbreaking achievements of diversifying the game of golf through perseverance, confidence, respect, and adaptability.

Powell – the second African American woman to ever compete on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour – demonstrated resilience amidst her own obstacles of racial adversity and segregation and has dedicated her life to making golf a sport for all.
