FOREWORD
Celebrating diversity and inclusion within the energy sector
We often hear , with the backing of substantial evidence , that the energy industry is falling behind in diversity and inclusion : women make up just 22 % of the labour force , while only a shocking 1 in 10 professionals in the profession are non-white .
Changing this reality and , alternatively , fostering a culture of inclusivity is the responsibility of every individual within the energy sector . Environmental , Social , and Governance ( ESG ) metrics – which were previously considered supplementary measures – are now rapidly transforming into mandatory policies and , consequently , are an essential prerequisite for any energy organisation seeking investment .
In April ’ s issue , we hear from a range of trailblazing women within the sector , namely IBM , LG Energy Solution , and Apple , all of which continue to break barriers , going above and beyond to spearhead innovation within their respective roles .
