Our ERGs play a key role in fostering belonging, inclusion, engagement and allyship. Across our company, more than 30,000 employees come together in 14 ERGs with 280 chapters across the U.S., the UK and Australia. From networking to community outreach to professional development and so much more, ERGs provide benefits for both employees and the company.

There are many resources, tools and opportunities specifically for veterans.
At Northrop Grumman, our culture allows us to recognize the many forms of diversity and foster an inclusive environment – one where there are equal opportunities for all. Learn how we reinforce our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
