POWERful Women

POWERful Women (PfW) is a professional initiative to advance gender diversity in the UK energy sector.

Our goal is for women to be in at least 40% of middle management and leadership roles in the UK energy sector by 2030. We aim to achieve our goal in three ways:
 
SUPPORT – practical support for companies committed to improving their gender diversity and inclusion (for example through our D&I forum and sharing good practice) and for women to advance their careers (for example through our mentoring programme, POWERful Connections, and career resources);
CHALLENGE – reporting on progress and challenging organisations on their commitments (for example through publishing annual board statistics and company pledges, and through the work of the Energy Leaders’ Coalition)
CONNECT – running events and providing platforms for women to network and for companies, regulators, government and experts to collaborate.
