Diversity Unlocks Innovation

Gender Equity's Competitive Edge

The world is on the cusp of economic and social transformation, and inequality can no longer be swept under the rug. As we continue to see profound changes in the way we create and consume energy, it is clear that gender equity plays a critical role. Successful innovation and business adaptation depend on it.

Meanwhile, the energy sector remains one of the least gender diverse industries. Only 22 percent of women work in the traditional energy sector, while women in renewables make up roughly 32 percent of the workforce (IRENA, 2019). This panel brings together some of the greatest minds in business productivity and will speak to the role that gender equity plays in industry progress.
