The only diversity & equality energy network operating globally
ABOUT
WOMEN'S ENERGY COUNCIL
The Women’s Energy Council, first launched by the Oil & Gas Council in 2014, is a global networking community based on the belief that a more inclusive workforce not only enhances business performance, but can also serve as an integral part of business strategy and planning.
Those in our network are active on a global scale and are all committed to enhancing the inclusion and meaningful participation of women in the oil, gas and energy industries. By creating a platform for discussion of shared experiences and lessons learnt, we aim to build a community of like-minded industry professionals, encouraging mentorship and networking as important tools for women empowerment
