women in energy

We recognise the part we have to play in ensuring our workforce is representative of the communities which we live and work in.

We want to attract and retain more women within our organisation, showcase the opportunities on offer and provide them with the necessary support for career progression and to grow their families.

Colleague Resource Groups

The groups are a safe space to share experiences and discuss ways of improving inclusion in the workplace and in our communities. Learn more about all the groups here.
