Achieving gender parity in leadership roles at energy organisations

A BCG study reveals a clear link between diversity and inclusion and improved financial performance. Notably, energy companies with above-average representation of women in top roles (21% or higher) saw significant increases in returns on equity. Moreover, diverse and inclusive workplaces attract a wider range of talent, retain staff more effectively, and boost employee satisfaction. By creating an environment that values diversity and fosters inclusion, energy companies can tap into the best minds and drive innovation in the industry’s future.
