Are you concerned about diversity in your workplace?

This October, we are hosting an event at KTH Innovation to highlight the issue of Gender Equality in the Energy Industry. Our Guest Speakers are prominent women who have played a crucial role in shaping the energy transition in the Nordics and the rest of the world.

Join us in person at Teknikringen 1, KTH Innovation, Stockholm to learn about the experiences of our guest speakers and network with them. The speaker event will then be followed by a fun case workshop for our audience to reflect upon the challenges towards gender equity and brainstorm the solutions of how they want the future to look.

“Gender equity and environmental sustainability may seem like unrelated issues, but research shows that they are in fact closely intertwined. Women and other underserved groups are disproportionately impacted by the global climate crisis, but they are also uniquely positioned to lead the fight for sustainability. Ultimately, to tackle climate change (as well as the myriad other sustainability challenges that face today’s organizations), leaders and individuals must acknowledge the complexity and interconnectedness of these issues — and work to develop integrated solutions that will improve them all. “– Harvard Business Review
