Our company culture

At Northrop Grumman, we believe that every single person has the potential to change the future.

Northrop Grumman have ranked #20 in DiversityInc’s top companies for diversity and inclusion this year. We are thrilled with this accomplishment and our commitment to always creating and supporting space for people of all backgrounds and perspectives to succeed.

We have five Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) in the UK, which are volunteer groups, led by our enthusiastic employees. These ERGs provide huge benefits for both its members and the wider company. Our ERGs have been designed to create an atmosphere where employees can gain and share knowledge, solve problems and build relationships.

Our ERGs range from NGWIN celebrating the women of Northrop Grumman to GreeNG which aims to keep our workforce and company environmentally aware and sustainable.

Our ERGs are also key to our commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I). We continually support employees who come from different backgrounds as it helps us to promote innovation and increase productivity among our team.
