We’re committed to building Belonging at OVO, not just because it's the obvious right thing to do but also because a more diverse and inclusive workforce is a happier, more engaged and more productive one. 

Get this right and we’ll have built something truly great: a place where everyone belongs. 

Our 8 brilliant Belonging networks are key to the success of Plan Zero and every member of our networks are empowered to drive positive change, have their voices heard and let us know when we get it wrong.

As March comes to a close, we’re looking back on an inspiring month of gender equality activities.

We heard from our female leaders about their experiences, from our people about why gender equality and allyship is so important, and we helped women across OVO celebrate their achievements.

We highlighted the support available for parents and guardians through our Parenting Club and Parental Buddies. And we learned more about trans and non-binary inclusion through our Trans Inclusion Policy and OVO Learn course.

Happy. Respected. Supported. These are the things we want everyone to feel at OVO.

We have 8 brilliant Belonging Networks. They play a huge role in shaping our business – from policies and guides, to making
sure our events are inclusive. And we hold ourselves to account – every year we publicly report our progress.

You can also check out our Belonging approach, Belonging Podcast series, and annual Belonging report.

For the past decade, we've proudly partnered with The Conservation Volunteers and The Woodland Trust to plant native trees across the UK. 🌳

Since 2015, we've planted over 5,000,000 trees on behalf of our customers. Ella Thomson shares why our nature work matters, where we're making a difference, and how you can get involved.

About us

We launched in 2009 with a belief that energy could be better. Since then we’ve welcomed over four million members, planted 5 million trees and set our sights on helping to save the planet. In 2019 we launched Plan Zero - our sustainability plan.

That’s why we’re helping UK homes on the Path to Zero. With a range of smart tech to choose from and our expert teams, we can help take steps to reduce our customers energy bills and our collective carbon footprint.

We’ve always believed energy can be better. Better for our customers. Better for their wallets. Better for our planet. We’re creating a culture where brilliant people are united in that mission. From helping customers decarbonise their homes, to making it simpler for them
to manage their energy use – every role here has a purpose.

Flexible working at OVO

Every step of the way we’ve nurtured one thing above all else – supporting our people so they can best support our customers. Our culture, which we call The OVO Way, is what makes us unique. It’s our secret sauce and how we show up. Every. Single. Day.

We understand that a one size fits all approach doesn’t work for everyone. That’s why we created the OVO Way of Flexibility.

Depending on the needs of your business area, we expect hub based people to be in the office at least once a week, and to go to OVO Connection events in-person. 

You’ll be assigned to the closest one of our three hub offices, Bristol, Glasgow, or London; unless your role requires field-based work. Each hub has accessible spaces to park your laptop, is designed to inspire people, help them connect and bring big ideas to life.

Approach to diversity & inclusion

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.

As a Disability Confident Leader, we're 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.

- Hannah Briscoe, Head of Talent Acquisition

After 10+ years at OVO, I've grown in ways I never imagined. Every day, I'm inspired and energised by the talented and kind people around me. Together with our shared mission and purpose, it makes OVO truly special—a place where we can all be our authentic selves and have fun while doing it!
