Social Commitment

We respect and celebrate our employees by striving to create a diverse and inclusive environment in which people thrive. We need the best minds in the room to propel the next generation of sustainable solutions – key to which is diversity. A more diverse workforce is to our collective benefit as we all gain from tapping into a broader range of experience, abilities, ideas, and perspectives. Our diversity commitments include bringing more women into leadership positions, working with veterans organizations to recruit transitioning members of the military, focusing our recruitment and retention efforts to achieve more diverse racial and ethnic representation across our organization, and partnering with community organizations to develop a growing workforce that reflects all expressions of individuality and supports the local regions in which we operate.

One of the most exciting aspects of being on the cutting edge of technology is the energy of the people who make it happen. Aspen Aerogels’ employees come from different corners of the world, enriching our workplace with distinct cultures, customs, and life experiences. We celebrate the power of diversity and acknowledge the resulting success achieved in bringing people together.

We also make meaningful contributions to our communities through community outreach, charitable giving and employee volunteerism programs—including food drives for local food banks, collections for holiday gifts for families in need, and sponsoring scholarships for local high school students.
