Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
At Advanced Energy we recognize and appreciate the importance of creating an equitable environment in which team members feel valued, included, and empowered to do their best work by openly sharing ideas, perspectives, and capabilities to support of our mission. Each employee’s unique experiences, perspectives, and viewpoints enable us to unlock, create and deliver the world’s most advanced power supplies and solutions.

Community Involvement
Advanced Energy helps facilitate innovative research projects, participates in local chambers of commerce, and works with local non-profit organizations. We also partner with multiple academic institutions and invest resources and funds to advance energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies, drive global impact, and shape tomorrow’s leaders in power conversion and control.
Responsible Sourcing
Advanced Energy is dedicated to reducing the impact procurement activities and supply chain have on the planet – whether that impact is on human rights, the environment, or any other area of corporate social responsibility. An area of particular concern is that of conflict minerals, the mining of which supports armed conflict or risks of human abuses, such as slavery and child labor.

Our Code of Conduct, which also applies to our suppliers, specifically prohibits activities involving slave or forced labor, human trafficking, and child labor.

- Employee Training and Helplines. We actively and regularly train our employees on ethical business practices and provide a 24-hour hotline to address ethics issues should they arise.
