The importance of inclusion and diversity in energising society Every day , people are treated less favorably or face discrimination because of their ethnicity , gender , religion or ideology , disability , age , or sexual identity . As Rossetti explains , this has to change .
“ Siemens Energy believes inclusion and diversity creates more opportunity for success . It doesn ’ t matter the gender , age , ethnic background , sexual orientation , or disability − everyone has an equal part to play in energising society . Here , more than 94,000 employees worldwide join forces with welcoming colleagues who encourage equality and belonging , to passionately and energetically pursue a shared goal : to shape the energy systems of the future .”
With the energy industry playing a crucial role in addressing climate change and reducing carbon emissions , there has never been a more important time to make positive change .
“ The world needs people who do not look the other way when they see or hear racism and discrimination . We can all doa great deal in our everyday lives and at work to make our society more supportive , open , and tolerant .
“ At Siemens Energy , we believe that creating a society worth living in involves demonstrating solidarity and creating an environment in the here and now that not only leaves room for diverse identities and lifestyles but also sees them as an enrichment to our lives ,” Rossetti concludes . “ If we all work together toward this goal , nothing less than great things can come of it – for us , for the future , for all of us .” energydigital . com 127
