serving customers and building stronger communities. We emphasize
improving workplace diversity, equity and inclusion and are also
proud to be a leader in the transition to generating cleaner
sources of energy, such as wind and solar. It’s this combined
commitment to our employees, our customers and our environment that
earns us placement on this prestigious list.”Alliant Energy’s

leadership level. Women make up 40% of the company’s Board of
Directors. Of the company’s officers, 44% are women and 31% Black,
