As we approach 2025, our world industry is confronted with unprecedented energy demand, as the energy transition unfolds. It presents an opportunity to achieve greater gender equality and inclusion. Today women make up one-third of the workforce in the energy sector in positions ranging from entry-level to C-Suite executives. Increasing these numbers and improving the participation of women in the clean energy sector is critical. Investments in the energy sector have the potential to contribute to direct economic benefits to women through formal sector employment and providing opportunities to improve livelihoods through small-scale enterprises, development of skills, and professional training. Meaningful gender inclusion in the energy section leads to increased benefits for companies, specifically improved access to talent and critical skills, broadened diversity, enhanced innovation and competitiveness, and improved retention.
